Forest to Assess Postecoglou's Position Over Break After Newcastle, Per Reports

Owner Evangelos Marinakis is weighing results after a six-game winless start.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Marinakis will review Ange Postecoglou’s future if Forest lose at Newcastle, with a decision window expected during the international break.
  • The club hierarchy is described as offering immediate backing while expecting a rapid improvement starting with the trip to St James’ Park.
  • Postecoglou is winless in six matches across competitions, a first for a permanent Forest manager in roughly 100 years per Opta, and the team sits 17th in the Premier League.
  • The 3-2 Europa League defeat to Midtjylland triggered boos and chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” from sections of the home support.
  • Postecoglou says pressure "does not enter [his] head"; reports indicate Marinakis will consult Ross Wilson and Edu Gaspar before any call, and a break-time dismissal could rank among the Premier League’s shortest tenures.
