Now SunSport understands that Marinakis has made former Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou his number one target to replace Nuno in the dugout at the City Ground.
Postecoglou, who was sacked by Tottenham this summer despite winning their first trophy in 17 years, could even be in charge in time for Forest’s visit to Arsenal this Saturday.
It’s understood that a deal is imminent, with Marinakis keen to get his side playing the attacking style of football Postecoglou became known for during his time with Spurs.
The Australian – who was born in Greece but grew up in Melbourne – was both praised and criticised for refusing to back down from his open style of play while in North London.
While Nuno found so much success in charge of Forest last term playing a defensively solid counter-attacking style.
