"The Australian is quick to defend his record when his coaching capabilities, successes or failures are called into question. To call on his experience when he feels like he is being disrespected or dismissed for learning the ropes in a football outpost. To turn to the silverware he has collected when there is a suggestion that he is a visitor, an impostor or a charlatan"
"Being sacked just 40 days into his Nottingham Forest reign will remain a stain on Postecoglou's CV long after he leaves England. Being axed from two Premier League clubs within little more than four months is a blemish that could be even harder to remove after the Australian passes through the departure lounge. For Postecoglou must surely now leave England or at least the Premier League behind."
Ange Postecoglou has relied on a strong reputation and past silverware to defend his coaching record. A new unwanted record — the shortest stint as a permanent Premier League manager — followed his 40-day tenure at Nottingham Forest. Two sackings within just over four months create a significant blemish that could hinder his career in England. The dismissals increase the likelihood of a departure from the Premier League or a lateral step elsewhere. Personality clashes, club ownership style and an inherited squad contributed to an unstable relationship that amplified the stigma of successive exits.
