The joy for me coming to this club is to win a trophy

New head coach calls on 'Ange-believers' to create history and targets second Europa League triumph

- Ben Fisher

Ange Postecoglou walked out of the City Ground tunnel, which is decorated with famous images from yesteryear, and surveyed the scene. Just like that, the new Nottingham Forest head coach, in a blue suit, open-neck white shirt and Paul Smith trainers - the designer is a son of the city - was back in business. He posed with the garibaldi red shirt and before long was explaining how Forest's move interrupted his belated 60th birthday celebrations last weekend. "We had this whole thing planned, The Hangover-style, but we were in bed by 10pm as we realised our age," Postecoglou said.

It was in May, when the Europa League trophy parade halted outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, that Postecoglou provided a memorable mic-drop moment: declaring that season three always eclipses season two in the best TV series. Four months after being sacked, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo three games into the Premier League season, provided quite the plot twist.

"If you're talking about my career, this is season 28, so it's a long-running series and it's done really well in different countries," he said with a smile. "It's still going, it's picked up a few awards."

It was one of a few endearing quips on Postecoglou's third day in the job, his first with a full complement of players after the international break before his team visits Arsenal tomorrow.
