Ange Postecoglou lined up for top European job after Tottenham sack, talks underway
Ange Postecoglou may have left his Tottenham post recently, but he could be set for a return to management.
Postecoglou reportedly held talks with Nottingham Forest chairman Evangelos Marinakis amid the uncertainty over Nuno Espirito Santo’s position as manager.
The former Spurs manager has also been tipped with West Ham after Graham Potter’s indifferent start to the campaign.
However, the Australian is now emerging as a candidate for two European sides after the latest reports.
Ange Postecoglou lined up for two European jobs
Postecoglou may have been lined up for a Premier League return, but it seems that he could be heading to Europe.
The 60-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by the Lilywhites in early June, with Thomas Frank replacing him.
Daniel Levy decided to replace the former Celtic boss despite guiding the North London club to their first trophy in 17 years.
Now, Postecoglou is emerging as an option for both Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce, who are both looking for a new head coach, according to Fabrizio Romano on 3 September.
The former Spurs manager is being discussed as a name at both clubs ahead of their impending decisions.

While he had his flaws, nobody can fault the former Australia manager for delivering the trophy he promised in North London.
Indeed, Postecoglou has a wealth of honours to his name, and he will be striving to add more to his CV.
- He won the Asia Cup with Australia
- Postecoglou won five trophies during his Celtic tenure
- Defeated Man United in the Europa League final
In his first season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he got off to a lightning-fast start, turning the Lilywhites into an attacking threat.
Yes, Spurs’ Premier League form was alarming last term, but there were a host of factors behind their slump.
In Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce, Postecoglou has some eye-catching options on the table, and he would have every chance of delivering more silverware.
