Insider reveals Ange Postecoglou “more likely than not” to be sacked by Nottingham Forest | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest have had a very difficult few weeks, which have coincided with Ange Postecoglou’s arrival as manager. The former Tottenham head coach arrived at the City Ground last month after Nuno Espirito Santo was controversially sacked, but he has struggled to stamp his authority on his squad.

Since coming in, Postecoglou has overseen seven matches without a win (D2 L5), with that run continuing after a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday. Nottingham Forest’s supporters are already turning on the Aussie, who could already be heading for the sack.

As per Football Insider, Mick Brown has revealed that right now, Postecoglou is more likely than not to be relieved of his duties by Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.

“I have no doubt questions will be asked of Postecoglou. Given how the owner there tends to operate, he’s not going to be afraid to pull the trigger if things aren’t working, and at the moment it clearly isn’t.

“Going into the international break, it’s probably more likely than not because it gives them a couple of weeks to sort things out and find somebody else. They’re coming off the back of a fantastic season, so this season was always going to be difficult. I’m not sure they were ever going to match what they did last time, even with Nuno in charge.

“Now, Postecoglou has come in and he wants to change their whole style of play, they’ve gone from a defensively solid counter-attacking side, to the opposite. That style didn’t work at Tottenham, and it’s not working at Forest, so the owner will be looking at that and they’ll be concerned about the results because they haven’t been good enough.

“The problem is, you lose a few games and all of a sudden the sky falls on top of you. It seems they’re going to have talks, the manager and the owner, so we’ll see what comes of that because it didn’t exactly end well for Nuno.”

The pressure is on for Postecoglou, whose side face Chelsea in the first match after the international break- but right now, it cannot be guaranteed that he is in charge for that fixture.
