Nottingham Forest Owner Considers Sacking Manager Postecoglou After Six Winless Matches

Ange Postecoglou, who took over as Nottingham Forest's head coach in September 2024, is facing intense pressure after failing to win any of his first six matches, which includes four losses and two draws. The team's recent 3-2 home defeat to FC Midtjylland in the Europa League sparked fan backlash with chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning," causing alarm among club leadership. Owner Evangelos Marinakis is reportedly concerned about the results and performances and is considering sacking Postecoglou if the team loses their upcoming match at Newcastle United, which could result in the shortest Premier League managerial tenure. Despite the difficult fixture, the club's hierarchy, including chief football officer Ross Wilson and global head of football Edu Gaspar, will consult before making a final decision. Forest invested approximately £200 million in new players over the summer to compete in the Europa League and domestic competitions, but the squad is still adapting to Postecoglou's possession-based style amid defensive frailties and personnel challenges. While Marinakis prefers stability, his history shows a readiness to act swiftly if he deems the managerial appointment a mistake, making Postecoglou's future uncertain yet currently supported ahead of the Newcastle game.
