Resolute Forest Boss Insists 'Give Me Chance' During Pressure

Under-fire boss the Forest head coach presented an emotional defence of his legacy as he vowed to secure trophies at Nottingham Forest allowed sufficient opportunity

The veteran coach faces scrutiny after failing to secure victory in a single one of his first seven matches following his appointment instead of Nuno Espirito Santo last month

The club has been reviewing available choices over the pause in fixtures, including former Burnley manager the experienced tactician a potential option reviewed as an alternative despite Postecoglou having been in charge for barely over a month

Forest faces the London club this weekend and Postecoglou gave a five-minute monologue in his match preview press conference, with Forest 17th in the Premier League

"Some look on the problems yet I notice at the progress being made," he stated, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic as I have a group of young players eager to transform"

Postecoglou likewise stated there was no discussion with the club's owner Evangelos Marinakis during the international break

"I am not wasting my energy regarding external perceptions" he continued

"I genuinely don't match, not only in this role, just in general" he explained

Prior Management Role

"I became manager of Spurs and was told from the owner at the time 'this organization must secure honors'"

"He stated 'we attempted to appoint proven winners, the Special One and Antonio [Conte] yet it proved unsuccessful, we must have an alternative method'"

"I was a bit taken aback by that since I consider myself as triumphant"

Justifying His Performance

"We finished fifth in my initial campaign" he noted

"Whenever the star striker found the net I often thought he'd just stayed for additional time since it could have been useful to keep his services post our top-five position"

"Yet somehow that campaign has vanished from public memory" he asserted

Looking Forward

"Thus, we reach the existing circumstances where there's another perspective to share, that possibly I'm no a disappointing tactician who was fortunate to obtain this role"

"but maybe I'm a leader who if provided patience, the tale invariably finishes the same"

"Throughout my coaching career, the outcome is identical - through my leadership holding silverware"

He claimed the Europa League in May - their first piece of silverware after a long drought along with their initial continental honor after forty-one years

Former Celtic manager likewise vowed, allowed sufficient opportunity, he would maintain his track record of claiming honors at each club he's coached
