Ange Postecoglou is set for his first game back in management after leaving Tottenham this summer.
Postecoglou’s appointment at Nottingham Forest has been met with mixed reactions, given the popularity of Nuno Espirito Santo – another ex-Spurs boss – at the City Ground.
However, supporters of the East Midlands club will soon learn what the 60-year-old is all about.
Forest face Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, but how did the Australian fare against the Gunners while in charge of Spurs?

However, Evangelos Marinakis clearly eyes trophy potential, and that has been echoed by the Australian.
While he will want to get off to the perfect start, it does not come much tougher than an away trip against Arsenal.
During his time as Spurs boss, Postecoglou endured a rotten time, earning just one point in four matches.
Despite suffering three losses, it is fair to say that the 60-year-old’s side were not steamrolled by the Gunners.
However, he will be desperate for a different narrative when he faces the North London club with his new side.
What is Nottingham Forest’s record vs Arsenal?
While Postecoglou has endured a tough time against the Gunners, Forest have not fared much better.
Forest held the North London club to a 0-0 draw at the City Ground when they last met.
Moreover, their last win against Arsenal came in a 1-0 win in May of 2023, thanks to a goal from Taiwo Awoniyi.
If he manages to bag all three points, then it should not take Forest supporters long to warm to their new boss.
