Ange Postecoglou is determined to win trophies at Nottingham Forest.
The Australian coach – who was sacked by Tottenham despite leading the club to Europa League glory last season – has replaced Nuno Espirito Santo at Forest and has set his sights on more silverware at the City Ground.
In an interview with the club’s in-house media, Postecoglou said: “I love winning things. That’s what I’ve done. From my perspective now it’s about implementing my own ideas. It’s no secret I like my teams to attack, I love my teams to score goals.
“That is sometimes misconstrued as me just playing one way, but the reason I want my team to play that way is because I love winning things and that is what I want to do here. When you look at what the club has achieved in recent times, it’s an outstanding feat to be where we are right now.
“Other clubs that have won promotion have struggled to stay in the league, but in a short space of time we’re back in Europe and competing for honours, which is a great credit to everyone involved.
“I get a sense that the club wants more and that’s certainly what I want, so I think it’s a really exciting time. I’m honoured and I’m humbled, but more importantly I’m determined to make sure this football club takes its rightful place.”
Forest will compete in the Europa League this season and Postecoglou feels a sense of responsibility to continue the club’s illustrious history on the continent that was forged in the 1970s and 1980s by back-to-back European Cup wins under legendary manager Brian Clough.
He said: “It’s a fantastic football club with great history and, even in recent times, it has done really well. You bear that responsibility, but I’m excited and I’m looking forward to it and I’m really happy to be here.”
