Forest to Assess Postecoglou Over Break If Newcastle Trip Goes Wrong

The head coach is winless in six and heard home fans call for his sacking after a Europa League defeat.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say a defeat at Newcastle would trigger a formal review of Ange Postecoglou’s position during the international break, led by owner Evangelos Marinakis.
  • Sky Sports reports Marinakis will not hesitate to make a change if performances and results do not improve quickly, even as the club publicly stresses short‑term support and focus on Sunday.
  • Supporter unrest intensified with chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” during the 3-2 home loss to Midtjylland in the Europa League.
  • Opta records Postecoglou as the first permanent Forest manager in a century to go winless in his first six games (D2 L4), with Forest 17th and 13 goals conceded in that span.
  • Board deliberations are expected to involve Ross Wilson and Edu Gaspar, and media reports link potential replacements, including Oliver Glasner, as contingency options.
