Former England rugby coach Eddie Jones has revealed that he reached out to Ange Postecoglou via text message after the Australian football coach was brutally sacked by Nottingham Forest just 39 days after he was appointed the club’s manager.

Jones, who now coaches the Japanese national side, explained that he felt some empathy for the ex-Forest manager, noting that he was also unceremoniously sacked by the Rugby Football Union back in 2022.

The 65-year-old revealed to SEN on Thursday that he had shared a few texts with Postecoglou in recent days, stating that the former Tottenham boss was still 'hurting' but had seen his departure coming.
