Ange Postecoglou Rules Out Celtic Return, Owns Up to Nottingham Forest ‘Bad Decision’

He calls the Forest move a rushed decision after his Spurs exit, signalling he will only consider a fresh project that backs his methods.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Overlap, Postecoglou said he does not go back to former clubs and ended speculation over a Celtic reunion despite praising his time in Glasgow.
  • He accepted full responsibility for taking the Nottingham Forest job, describing it as too soon after his Tottenham departure and admitting he felt "lost" being out of work.
  • His Forest tenure lasted 39 days with six defeats in eight matches before owner Evangelos Marinakis dismissed him.
  • He detailed a deliberate tactical shift that delivered Tottenham’s 2025 Europa League title, adopting a low‑risk, defensively rigid approach, including finishing the final with seven defenders.
  • He remains out of work and says his next role must be a new challenge that fully embraces his playing and training philosophy rather than a return to past posts.
