"The fate of Ange Postecoglou as the Nottingham Forest head coach was reportedly under threat before his team traveled to face Newcastle on Sunday, and it was said that if they returned from the Tyneside without any points, the club hierarchy would be likely to consider sacking the Australian and working to replace him over the international break. That has now happened, with Bruno Guimaraes and Nick Woltemade scoring to give the Magpies a 2-0 victory."
"Having taken over from Nuno Espirito Santo at the start of September, Postecoglou has now led his team through seven matches in all competitions, all without a single victory - just two draws and five defeats. He has completely lost the trust of the supporters at the City Ground, who were calling for his head after the 2-3 defeat in the Europa League to Midtjylland earlier this week."
"The former Celtic and Tottenham Hotspur boss also said that he understood club owner Evangelis Marinakis regarding the current situation. "I don't expect him to be happy about the current situation but neither am I. From that point of view, there's clear understanding," he said."
Ange Postecoglou entered the Newcastle match with his role at Nottingham Forest reportedly under threat if the team returned without points, and Forest lost 2-0. Postecoglou has managed seven matches across competitions without a victory, recording two draws and five defeats, and supporters called for his dismissal after recent results. Forest sit 17th in the Premier League with five points from seven games and appear in a relegation fight. Postecoglou expressed confidence in his ability to recover based on past experiences, acknowledged owner Evangelis Marinakis's likely dissatisfaction, and pointed to previous silverware success.
