Reports from TBR Football suggest that Ange Postecoglou is facing a potential threat to his position as head coach of Nottingham Forest, just a few weeks into his tenure at the City Ground.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis targeted the Australian coach in the summer, and a deal was finalized before Nuno Espirito Santo’s departure in early December. Unfortunately, Postecoglou has yet to secure a win in his first six games, making him the first Forest manager in a century to start with such a record.
Growing discontent among Forest fans was evident during their recent Europa League defeat to FC Midtjylland, putting more pressure on Postecoglou. While the club is publicly backing him, sources have indicated that a loss to Newcastle United on Sunday could spell the end of his time at the club.
According to our chief correspondent Graeme Bailey, speculation about Forest seeking their third manager of the season is accurate, signaling a potential change in leadership. Postecoglou has been criticized for his team’s poor performance and his body language, with concerns over the number of goals conceded since his arrival.
Facing mounting pressure, Postecoglou admitted that he has not spoken with owner Marinakis since the disappointing loss to FC Midtjylland. Despite this, the owner has reportedly asked how he can support the coach in turning the team’s fortunes around.
As the situation becomes increasingly dire for Postecoglou, the upcoming game against Newcastle United could determine the future of his position at Nottingham Forest.
