Recent career and current work
Postecoglou previously managed Celtic before moving to Nottingham Forest. He left Forest in October 2025.
Since then he has worked as a Technical Observer for UEFA. He has also made clear he wants to return to management.
Preferred timing for his next job
He has said he prefers to start jobs in the summer. That timing would give him a full pre-season to work with players.
