Inside Ange Postecoglou’s recent behaviour in Nottingham Forest training which doesn’t bode well

Ange Postecoglou’s future at Nottingham Forest is increasingly uncertain.

TBR Football reported that owner Evangelos Marinakis is considering Postecoglou’s future after just seven games in charge, and Fulham’s Marco Silva is a potential option to replace him.

Forest have been underwhelming since Postecoglou replaced the popular Nuno Espirito Santo in the dugout, and the Australian is yet to earn his first victory.

The feeling among a number of influential figures at the City Ground is that a quick change might be needed, and the head coach’s mood around training suggests the end could be nigh.

Ange Postecoglou can be ‘isolated’ in training, journalist claims

While Ange Postecoglou is adamant he is up for the fight, it is understood that Marinakis is currently weighing up his next course of action.

The timing has arguably worked against the 60-year-old with Forest now not in action until after the international break, when they play Chelsea at home on October 18.

Journalist Alex Crook has shed some light on Postecoglou’s mannerisms behind the scenes, and it doesn’t bode well as he looks to buy himself more time.

“I wonder what he’s like around the training ground. Well, I know what he’s like around the training ground,” Crook said on talkSPORT.

“He can be quite an isolated character, doesn’t necessarily engage too much with his players and again, can be quite downbeat when results are going badly.

“So I think all that can conspire against him.”

Ange Postecoglou’s dreadful Premier League record

Damningly, Postecoglou has now lost 30 of his last 49 Premier League matches at both Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.

The end of his spell at Spurs saw his side stutter to a 17th-placed finish, and the campaign was only saved at the death by their Europa League success. Daniel Levy, of course, still pulled the trigger.

The numbers point to a coach struggling to find the right formula that ensures consistent performances and results in the top-flight. For a team battling for their lives, that just won’t fly.

Should Marinakis decide enough is enough after just four weeks, Postecoglou should not be surprised.
