Ange Postecoglou’s Position at Nottingham Forest Uncertain Before Newcastle Match as Fans Call for Sacking

Nottingham Forest is set to evaluate whether to retain or dismiss manager Ange Postecoglou during the international break, following a poor run of results. The team suffered a home defeat to Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday, which was witnessed by owner Evangelos Marinakis, and marked their sixth consecutive game without a win since Postecoglou’s appointment on September 9.

Fan unrest was evident at the match, with supporters chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning” and singing for former manager Nuno Espírito Santo, who was dismissed last month and is now at West Ham.

Next up, Forest will face Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday, just before a two-week international break. A victory at St James’ Park is crucial for Postecoglou, as it would be their first win across all competitions since the season opener and could influence the club’s decision on his future.

Postecoglou, who previously managed Tottenham and led them to an Europa League title last season, was dismissed by Spurs after finishing 17th in the Premier League. His short tenure at Forest has already come under scrutiny due to recent performances and results.

Ange Postecoglou’s future at Nottingham Forest is uncertain after just 24 days in charge.

When hired, Postecoglou aimed to defend their Europa League title and secure a spot in the Champions League, aligning with owner Marinakis’ ambitious goals. While there is still a chance to achieve this—since only two rounds of the eight-match league phase have been completed—Forest’s recent performances have fallen short of expectations. They could drop into the relegation zone if results do not improve.

Owner Evangelos Marinakis appeared visibly frustrated as Forest lost again, this time to Midtjylland.
