Despite the recent dismissal of Celtic hero Ange Postecoglou from Nottingham Forest following a string of poor performances, it seems that the players still had faith in his managerial abilities.
Postecoglou’s departure came after a challenging run of results that had left Forest in 18th place in the Premier League table. Even as speculation grew about his future at the club, Postecoglou vehemently defended his record, highlighting the improvements he believed the team was making.
Following the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea that sealed Postecoglou’s fate, Nottingham Forest player Morgan Gibbs-White expressed that the squad continued to believe in their former manager’s vision. According to TNT Sports reporter Jules Breach, Gibbs-White shared insights from Postecoglou’s address to the team, emphasizing the frustration over missed opportunities and defensive lapses.
In the aftermath of the news, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca expressed sympathy for Postecoglou, acknowledging the demanding nature of football where results ultimately dictate a manager’s fate.
As Postecoglou faces an uncertain future, it is now a time for reflection for the Australian. Despite potential skepticism from the English media during his tenure at Forest, many Celtic fans are likely to support him as he takes a step back from the pressures of management. Postecoglou’s next steps remain unknown, but he may choose to take a well-deserved break before contemplating his future in the football world.
