Big Ange is back.

Ange Postecoglou has made a lowkey return to the game - following his departure from Nottingham Forest in October.

Initially taking over from the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo in September, Postecoglou suffered a similar fate only a month later at the City Ground.

Spending eight matches in charge of Forest, the Australian gaffer failed to win a single match in charge of the club.

Only in May though, the former Spurs manager reigned supreme in the Europa League - defeating Ruben Amorim's Manchester United to lift the illustrious trophy.

Now though, he is back in the game of football as a member of UEFA's Technical Observer Panel.

Each member of the panel, who have either major playing or managerial experience at the top level of the game, deliver in-depth reports from UEFA's Champions League matches based on the newest updates in coaching, tactical and playing styles.

Names included in the 2025/26 roster included Roy Hodgson, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Rafa Benitez and former England manager Gareth Southgate.

Only on Tuesday night, Postecoglou gave an in-depth report from the San Siro as Arsenal ran out 3-1 winners over Inter.

Postecoglou penned: "Jesus' alertness in the box gave Arsenal a cutting edge to complement their ability to create opportunities from various avenues.

"Both goals were instinctive. The first was from a mis-hit shot that he was able to capitalise on and the second from a rebound off the crossbar.

"Both are a demonstration of a goalscorer's instincts as, while others are watching, he is anticipating an opportunity to score."
