Roy Keane firmly believes that Ange Postecoglou is on borrowed time as the head coach of Nottingham Forest. With seven winless matches to start his tenure, speculation is swirling about whether owner Evangelos Marinakis will make a change. While Postecoglou may still be in charge for the upcoming match against Chelsea, his future remains uncertain.
Many Forest fans were skeptical of Postecoglou as a replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo, and their doubts have only intensified. Keane, a Forest legend, predicts that Postecoglou’s fate is sealed.
“We all know the situation,” Keane said on The Overlap podcast. “If Chelsea win 2-0, he’ll be gone. Owners have had time to make a decision during the international break. Managers these days don’t have a few months to turn things around, they only have a few games.”
When asked about giving managers a full season to prove themselves, Keane expressed doubt. He believes that if a team is facing potential relegation, waiting a year is not a viable option. However, he also acknowledged that firing a coach after just seven games is not ideal.
While the media has commented on Postecoglou’s struggles, it’s the Forest supporters who are most vocal in their criticism. Keane, along with former players, anticipates that Postecoglou may just make it to the next international break before a final decision is made on his future.
