Nottingham Forest news

Nottingham Forest have officially lodged a complaint with UEFA following their dramatic 3-2 Europa League home defeat to FC Midtjylland, as the pressure mounts on manager Ange Postecoglou just six games into his reign at the City Ground. Forest chiefs were left incensed by the controversial officiating during Thursday’s European clash, which saw the visitors escape with three points amid a series of questionable decisions from French referee Willy Delajod.

Ange Postecoglou may find himself under increased pressure if results at Nottingham Forest do not improve quickly, according to reports. The Australian 'retains the immediate backing' of the Forest board, who believe extenuating circumstances may have played a role in his failure to win any of his first six matches in charge in all competitions. Fans made their voices heard late on in defeat to Midtjylland in the Europa League, though, and the understanding is that things must improve soon.

Eddie Howe has admitted he would “love” to bring Elliot Anderson back to Newcastle United after the midfielder’s impressive rise at Nottingham Forest. The England international returns to St James’ Park this weekend, almost one and a half year after leaving his boyhood club in a £35 million ($47m) deal forced by the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Ange Postecoglou insists he remains confident in Nottingham Forest’s direction despite intense speculation over his future following a poor start to life at the City Ground. The Australian is still searching for his first win after six matches in charge, but says his focus is firmly on improving results rather than the growing uncertainty around his job.

Under-fire Forest boss Postecoglou could be out of a job as early as next week as the club plan to make a decision on his disastrous reign during the forthcoming international window. The Aussie manager has failed to see his team win and were humiliated 3-2 by minnows Midtjylland in the Europa League - where some fans chanted for the return of previous boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

Ange Postecoglou has made history at Nottingham Forest, but not the kind that the Australian coach was hoping for. The former Tottenham manager has failed to win any of his opening six games as Reds boss, since being appointed as successor to Nuno Espirito Santo. His latest setback came in a Europa League clash with Midtjylland, with fans at the City Ground airing their anger before the final whistle blew on Trentside.

Morgan Gibbs-White opened up on why he chose to commit his future to Nottingham Forest, despite strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer. Spurs were very close to signing Gibbs-White in the summer transfer window but the midfielder eventually put pen to paper on a new three-year deal that will now run until the summer of 2028. His previous deal was due to expire in 2027.

Nottingham Forest boss Ange Postecoglou took aim at his side's defending despite being on the receiving end of a refereeing decision he described as an "absolute howler" in their 1-0 defeat against Sunderland on Saturday. The Australian is still searching for his first win since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo at the City Ground, having lost three of his opening five matches in charge.

Antony was the inspiration for Real Betis with two key contributions to deny Forest on their long-awaited return to European competition in Seville. His dramatic equaliser came with five minutes remaining, following his assist for Cedric Bakambu in the 15th minute which had given Betis the lead. Forest squandered their lead, which came courtesy of a brace from Igor Jesus, during their first foray into European competition since the 1995-96 season.

Antony sealed a permanent switch to Real Betis after a mixed spell at Manchester United, with Manuel Pellegrini confident the winger will rediscover his best form. The Brazilian thrived on loan last season and, despite a slow start to this campaign, his manager insists he will be “happy in every way” as Betis look to revive their season.

Nuno Espirito Santo has held talks with West Ham as head coach Graham Potter could be sacked following a series of poor results. Nuno, who parted ways with Nottingham Forest this month due to a breakdown in his working relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis, could return to the Premier League soon after he was replaced at the City Ground by Ange Postecoglou.

Ange Postecoglou was satisfied with Nottingham Forest's progress since Arsenal defeat and Swansea collapse despite a 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Burnley. The contest had all the hallmarks of a relegation six-pointer, with both sides desperate for points, but Forest were left licking their wounds after surrendering a lead.

Nottingham Forest have been told why they "dodged a bullet" in not appointing Jose Mourinho as their new manager. After parting with Nuno Espirito Santo, the Reds were heavily linked with another Portuguese tactician. Reins at the City Ground were eventually handed to former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, with Stan Collymore reacting to that decision.
