Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou addressed the media ahead of the crucial match against Chelsea, facing scrutiny over his team's winless streak. Postecoglou, who has yet to secure a win in seven games at the helm, remains confident in his ability to deliver success.


The Australian manager faced tough questions about his future, with reports suggesting potential replacements are being considered. Postecoglou responded by highlighting his achievements at previous clubs, emphasizing that his story always ends with a trophy.


Postecoglou cited his Europa League triumph with Tottenham and his success with Celtic as examples of his managerial prowess. He expressed frustration that his achievements are being overlooked, and instead, critics focus on the team's current struggles.


Despite the pressure, Postecoglou remains committed to his vision for Nottingham Forest. He emphasized the team's potential and expressed excitement about the opportunity to build a winning team. The upcoming match against Chelsea will be a crucial test for Postecoglou and his team.


Ange Postecoglou addressed the speculation surrounding his future at Nottingham Forest, stating that there have been no talks with the club's ownership regarding his position. “No talks, we just get on with it,” he said, emphasizing his focus on the team's performance.


The Nottingham Forest manager also responded to criticism surrounding his appointment, saying, “I was told by Spurs we have to win a trophy, and they are trying something different.” This comment was in reference to his time at Tottenham, where he won the Europa League but was ultimately sacked.


Postecoglou's comments come amid growing speculation about his future at the City Ground, with some questioning his ability to lead the team to success. However, the Australian manager remains confident in his abilities, emphasizing that he “always wins a trophy” when given time.


“This is a different story to tell, and maybe I am not a failed manager but one who, if you give time, the story always ends the same, with me and a trophy.


“I just don’t fit. Not here but just in general. If you look at it through the prism that I’m a failed manager who is lucky to get this job – I know you are smirking at me but that has been said, and I can find the print (that says it) – then of course these five weeks look like I’m under pressure.”




Postecoglou Slams Spurs Over Sacking

Tottenham's decision to sack me was offensive, says Ange Postecoglou, who believes he was terminated for not meeting unrealistic expectations. As a manager who consistently delivers trophies, Postecoglou feels his experience at Spurs should have been viewed differently. “The story always ends the same, with me and a trophy,” he emphasized, highlighting his success at Celtic and Tottenham.


“Spurs said they tried to bring winners in and needed something different. I was offended by that, as I see myself as a winner.


“They finished eighth and no European football. We finished fifth in my first year. Every time Harry Kane scores a goal, I just wish he'd stayed one more year. He'd have been handy to have.


“For some reason, that year has disappeared from the record books. All I hear of is that we finished 17th in my second year.”




Postecoglou: Early Games Crucial for Managerial Survival

Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou emphasized the significance of the first 10 games for a manager's survival, while criticizing Tottenham for not valuing his trophy-winning achievement. “The story always ends the same, with me and a trophy,” Postecoglou said, highlighting his success at Celtic and Tottenham.


“My first year at Tottenham was used as a reason for losing my job as even Tottenham decided that the first 10 games were an anomaly. But the first 10 games here are very important apparently.


“I got them back into European football and was told in a meeting that winning a trophy means everything for this football club. We won the trophy.


“I will do what I think is the right thing to do to bring success to this club.”


Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou emphasized the significance of Saturday's match against Chelsea, describing it as a crucial encounter for the team. The high-stakes game comes amid speculation about Postecoglou's future at the club.


“It is always important to win the next game, we are facing a very good opponent.


“We've had a good few weeks training and everyone has come back (from the international break) in good condition.”
