Postecoglou Dismisses Job-Pressure Talk After Forest’s Winless Six-Game Start

He says job security is irrelevant to him, prioritizing fixes to mindset and defending ahead of Sunday’s trip to Newcastle.

Overview

  • Forest have yet to win in six matches under Ange Postecoglou, losing four across competitions.
  • A 3-2 Europa League home defeat to Midtjylland prompted chants from some supporters that he would be sacked.
  • Postecoglou said pressure "doesn't enter my head" and noted he won the Europa League with Tottenham despite knowing months earlier he would be dismissed.
  • He highlighted defensive lapses and a tendency to chase games, saying the team creates chances but lacks ruthlessness to see out results.
  • He targets a first victory at Newcastle on Sunday, with Reuters noting he is the first permanent Forest manager in 100 years not to win his opening six games.
