Ange Postecoglou has been linked with a sensational return to the Premier League as new manager of Nottingham Forest.
Following the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo as Forest manager on Monday, Postecoglou has emerged as one of the favourites to be the replacement.
According to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, the USMNT's Mauricio Pochettino and Fulham's Marco Silva are all also highly regarded by Forest.
Postecoglou, a Greek-Australian, was given high praise for Forest's Greek owner Evangelos Marinakas after becoming the first manager of Greek heritage to win the Europa League with Tottenham last season.

“What I want to say about Ange is that he has spoken about Greece many times, he is proud to be Greek and in the great success he had with Tottenham by winning the Europa League, he spoke about Greece,” Marinakis said.
“A man who not only does not hide his origin but is also proud of it.
“What he achieved, he did with a team that has not won any titles, it has had a very difficult time in recent years. In this huge success that the whole world saw, he promoted Greece.
“We must thank him especially for this and we wish him well, although we are sure that he will do well as he has the ability.
“Wherever he goes, the successes will come.”
Postecoglou has already reportedly rejected an approach from Turkish side Fernerbache, while speculation indicates he is not in the running for the Bayer Leverkusen role recently vacated by Erik ten Hag.
