Angus Postecoglou under threat of dismissal: Nottingham Forest loses sixth game in a row.

Angus Postecoglou's Problems at Nottingham Forest

According to The Sun: Angus Postecoglou is facing potential dismissal if Nottingham Forest loses the match against Newcastle - just 24 days after his appointment.

The former Tottenham manager has yet to achieve a victory since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo.

Postecoglou believes his position at the City Ground is unstable - although he publicly claims he is not concerned about the likelihood of a dismissal.

The recent 3-2 home loss to Midtjylland in the Europa League has caused discontent among fans, who are calling for a change of manager. The club owner, Evangelos Marinakis, also appeared to be worried.

Postecoglou became the first Nottingham Forest manager in 100 years to fail to win any of his first six matches. According to SunSport, the Australian coach is worried he could be sacked for the second time in four months if the team fails to earn points against Newcastle this weekend.

Postecoglou was previously dismissed in June, just days after his team won in the Europa League. He was invited back in September after a conflict between the owner and the previous manager Nuno.

However, a series of losses to Arsenal, Swansea, and Sunderland in September has pushed the club toward a potential managerial change.

The other two matches under Postecoglou ended in draws with Burnley and Real Betis. He insists he is not thinking about dismissal and hopes for a positive result against Newcastle.

“I understand. This is a reasonable assumption in modern football that there is always a coach under pressure; it is part of the identity of our job. I am not thinking about it. I already knew I would be sacked at Tottenham three or four months before it happened. That didn't stop me from winning something; it doesn't enter my thoughts. If I start worrying about what's going to happen next week, I'm not doing my job. It isn't helpful for anyone. What I can control is the learning environment, how we play. I am confident we are not that far off.”

In the current situation, it is important to note that Postecoglou has the opportunity to solidify his position at the club if he can break the losing streak and deliver a positive result in the next match. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest relies on the support of fans who, despite their disappointment, hope for improved results from the team.
