Ange Postecoglou is back in the Premier League, but Tottenham fans didn't expect to see him back so soon. This story feels like it was meticulously written by the most gut-wrenching author.

In the summer, Tottenham made a controversial call to sack Ange Postecoglou. He will forever be in the history books for winning the Europa League with Spurs against all odds.

Ange strangely went about his business. At times, he was a lone wolf, and he constantly put his integrity on the line with a promise that was hard to keep. Ultimately, Ange fulfilled his promise of achieving success at Spurs... Only for the club to throw it back in his face.

Now, though, Ange is back in the Premier League, and he has unfinished business.


Ange Postecoglou returns to the Premier League (but not with Spurs)

According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Ange Postecoglou is set to be announced as the new manager of Nottingham Forest. He will be appointed in time to lead their charge at the Emirates Stadium this weekend, and he will bring with him some former Tottenham members of staff.

Edu Gaspar undoubtedly played a role in the hiring of Ange Postecoglou, after the falling out between him and former Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

This is all a bit strange for Forest fans, who achieved success last season, against all odds, only to go through changes at the highest level and the managerial level. In many ways, their story is something Spurs fans can relate to this season.

Edu is an Arsenal legend and only worked as their director last season. He will have a close working relationship with Ange Postecoglou, which stings Tottenham fans for all the wrong reasons.

No official confirmation has been made as it stands, however, whenever David Ornstein speaks, it should be taken as gospel. Ange Postcoglou's appointment is as good as done now.
