Ange Postecoglou told he may not last until Christmas as Nottingham Forest’s woes continue
Ange Postecoglou is three games into his Nottingham Forest tenure, but Jamie O’Hara believes it’s already ‘not looking good’ for the Australian. In fact, O’Hara reckons Postecoglou may be out of a job by Christmas should Forest continue to struggle under his stewardship. The former Tottenham Hotspur boss was given the difficult task of replacing the popular Nuno Espirito Santo, who brought European football back to the City Ground but was axed in September amid a major fall-out with Forest’s Global Head of Football Edu and owner Evangelos Marinakis. Despite Postecoglou‘s vast pedigree as a trophy-winning manager, he is yet to pick up a victory from his first three games at Forest. Postecoglou’s record since taking over at Forest Postecoglou was thrown into the deep end with a match against Arsenal to kickstart his stint at Forest, which ended in a 3-0 defeat to the Gunners last weekend. Although some supporters may have been forgiving of a defeat against Arsenal, they were less so following a 3-2 loss to Swansea City in the Carabao Cup. What made the exit even worse was the fact Forest led 2-0, only to be on the receiving end of a second half comeback – with the Swans equalising in the third minute of stoppage time before scoring the winner through Australian international Cameron Burgess four minutes later.

Postecoglou will look to avoid his winless streak as Forest boss stretching into a fourth match when they travel to Andalusia for their Europa League opener against Real Betis on Wednesday.
It marks Forest’s return to European football after 30 years away, with Postecoglou hoping to recreate the magic he conjured to lead Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years last season as they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final.
