Nottingham Forest appoints Ange Postecoglou as head coach: what will change.

According to The Sun: The last 24 hours for Nottingham Forest have been a true test.

Late on Monday evening, the club announced the dismissal of Nuno Espírito Santo, and the next morning news emerged of the possible appointment of Ange Postecoglou as head coach.

Nuno secured 19 league wins last season, leading the team to a seventh place finish and qualifying for the Europa League, after a clash with Crystal Palace.

However, the Portuguese coach fell into conflict with Edu, the club's global football director, and owner Evangelos Marinakis, which ultimately led to his dismissal.

The appointment of Postecoglou at City Ground represents a significant change in tactical strategy, which is sure to impact the play of Dream Team.

Nuno aimed, first and foremost, to stop the opponent, while the former Tottenham coach will take risks and focus on attacking play.

Postecoglou prefers attacking football with a high defensive line and encourages his full-backs to actively participate in play in the middle and final thirds of the field.

The 60-year-old Australian ended Tottenham's trophy drought by winning the Europa League in the 2024/25 season, even though his team finished the Premier League in 17th place.

Spurs had 22 defeats and conceded 65 goals last season, which is three more than West Ham.

Given that Forest are set to play six matches in the next three weeks, Dream Team managers have focused on players like Matt Sells (£3.3m), Murillo (£3.7m), and Nikola Milenković (£3.6m) as smart options.

However, if Postecoglou remains true to his tactics, our assets may find it more challenging to keep clean sheets.

On the other hand, this could open up new opportunities for Chris Wood (£4.1m) and other attackers.

Despite the team's poor performance in the domestic league, some Spurs players last season delivered good results thanks to numerous goals and assists.

For instance, Pedro Porro (£5.1m), Dominic Solanke (£4.5m), and Brennan Johnson (£4.9m) benefited from participating in the Europa League.

Forest will begin their Europa League campaign in the 5th round, when they will visit Real Betis later this month, and additional matches look attractive for Dream Team managers.

The first game for Postecoglou may take place this Saturday in an away match against Arsenal, which is a difficult task considering the strong home record of the 'Gunners' in recent years.

However, September will also bring league matches against Burnley and Sunderland, which are seen as more winnable.

Combining these encounters with the Carabao Cup match against Swansea and the aforementioned Europa League matches, it is clear why Dream Team managers continue to show interest in Forest players after the international break.

Perhaps the new coach will bring more attacking points than defensive ones.

Soon we will find out.
