Nottingham Forest Keep Postecoglou for Now as Owner Assesses Successor Options

Reports indicate owner Evangelos Marinakis is granting a short reprieve as the cost of hiring Marco Silva deters an immediate change, with Rafael Benítez linked as an out-of-work alternative.

Overview

  • Postecoglou remains in post through the international break, with the Chelsea match highlighted in reports as an early benchmark after a seven-game winless start in all competitions.
  • Forest’s poor run has included fan chants calling for his sacking and a drop to 17th in the Premier League, with one point from four league matches under the new boss.
  • Multiple outlets report Marinakis is weighing options and holding talks during the break, with short-term results expected to shape any decision.
  • Marco Silva is repeatedly named as a target, but his Fulham contract and reported release clause make an in-season move expensive, aligning with claims that Marinakis prefers out-of-work hires.
  • Fresh reporting points to Rafael Benítez as a leading contingency candidate, framed as a more attainable option should results against Chelsea, Porto and Bournemouth not improve.
