Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou has been given a temporary reprieve by the club’s hierarchy, despite a dismal run of form. According to reports, the club’s owner Evangelos Marinakis has decided to afford Postecoglou time to turn things around, with the next two weeks being crucial in determining his future.
Postecoglou’s tenure has been marked by several high-profile defeats, including a 3-2 loss to Midtjylland in the Europa League and a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League. However, the club is unlikely to sack him during the international break, instead opting to assess his performance after the upcoming matches against Chelsea and Porto.
Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has come to Postecoglou’s defense, criticizing Forest fans for calling for the manager’s head. Jordan believes that the fans should support the team and the manager, rather than constantly criticizing them.
Meanwhile, talkSPORT’s chief football correspondent Alex Crook believes that Postecoglou should have done better with the squad he’s got. Crook points out that Forest had chances to win against Swansea in the League Cup and Midtjylland in the Europa League, and that Postecoglou’s comments in the press conference after the Midtjylland game were unhelpful.
The next few weeks will be crucial in determining Postecoglou’s future at Nottingham Forest. Will he be able to turn things around and lead the team to success, or will the club’s poor form prove too much to overcome?
