Ange Postecoglou is on the verge of a Premier League return following his dismissal by Tottenham in June.

The Australian delivered the Lilywhites’ first trophy in 17 years, but that feat was unable to outweigh a strikingly poor Premier League campaign in the eyes of the hierarchy in N17.

Tottenham sacked Postecoglou just weeks after the Europa League triumph in Bilbao, and he has since been linked with several jobs throughout the summer.

However, the 60-year-old’s return to English football is now imminent, as he is set to take the reins at Nottingham Forest.

Ange Postecoglou will be joined by former Tottenham staff at Nottingham Forest

Tottenham’s decision to sack Postecoglou was a controversial one, and he will now step into the dugout against them later this season, as he is hours away from being named as Forest’s new boss.

MORE SPURS STORIES

His first assignment in the dugout for the Reds will be Saturday’s trip to face Arsenal, while he will have to wait until 13 December before he gets to send his new team into battle against his former employers.

With Postecoglou’s return to English football seemingly now all but agreed, attention will turn towards the coaching team that he will assemble at the City Ground, and he appears to be lining up several swift reunions.

That coaching unit will look very familiar to Spurs fans, with the former Celtic boss set to be joined by several members of the backroom team who he worked with during his time in N17, according to David Ornstein via his X account.

Nick Montgomery and Mile Jedinak to be among new Ange Postecoglou team

Nick Montgomery and Mile Jedinak were both dismissed by Tottenham as part of their decision to give Postecoglou his marching orders, and it would be no surprise if they are two of the candidates to form his new coaching team.

The pair of ex-Spurs assistant coaches could also be joined by Sergio Raimundo, who remains out of work following his exit from North London.

That trio are surely the likely candidates to form the new backroom team at the East Midlands outfit, considering that Ryan Mason is now managing at West Brom, while Matt Wells has remained in N17.

Tottenham fans will undoubtedly be keen to keep a close eye on Postecoglou’s fortunes at the City Ground, and the familiarity of his coaching staff will add another reason for interest.
