Nottingham Forest wasted no time replacing Nuno Espirito Santo - confirming Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach on a two-year deal. The Australian returns to the Premier League just three months after leaving Tottenham, and will take charge against Arsenal this weekend. We look at the contrasting styles between Nuno and Ange, the challenges he faces with Evangelos Marinakis, and what Forest fans can expect from “Ange-ball.”

Elsewhere, England impressed in Belgrade with a big win over Serbia, moving within touching distance of qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Norway hit double figures in an 11-1 thrashing of Moldova, while Cape Verde are one win away from a first-ever World Cup after a historic victory over Cameroon. There was also frustration for Nigeria and Ireland as their qualifying hopes took major blows.

And in the United States, legendary co-commentator Ray Hudson announced his retirement. Famous for his exuberant, poetic turns of phrase and unforgettable Lionel Messi soundbites, Ray leaves behind one of football’s most beloved commentary legacies.
