Under-fire coach the Forest head coach offered a passionate justification regarding his track record and committed to win honors for the team provided with patience

The experienced manager is under pressure following his inability to win none of his initial seven fixtures since replacing the previous boss recently

Nottingham Forest were assessing potential alternatives during the international break, including former Burnley manager Sean Dyche a potential option considered as an alternative despite Postecoglou just taking over for just 38 days

They host Chelsea in their next match while Postecoglou gave a lengthy address in his match preview news conference, with Forest sitting 17th in England's top flight

"Many observers concentrate on the negatives yet I notice at the development occurring," he stated, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic since I work with a squad of emerging talents ready to evolve"

He also confirmed he did not speak to owner Evangelos Marinakis throughout the break

"I am not wasting my time about others' opinions" he emphasized

"I genuinely don't match, not here, across the board" he elaborated

Previous Club History

"I took over Tottenham and was told from the owner at the time 'this organization has to win a trophy'"

"He said 'we attempted to bring winners in, the Special One and the Italian tactician but it didn't succeed, we must have an alternative method'"

"I felt somewhat insulted by those words since I consider myself as successful"

Explaining His Results

"We ended up in fifth position my first year" he recalled

"Every time Harry Kane scored a goal I'd wish he'd just stayed for another season because it would have been beneficial to have him post our top-five position"

"Yet somehow that season has vanished from the record books" he argued

Future Focus

"So, we get to the present situation where there's an alternative narrative to share, that maybe I'm no a failed manager who was fortunate to secure this position"

"but maybe I am a coach that if you give them time, the tale invariably finishes the same"

"Throughout my coaching career, the result is consistent - alongside me and a trophy"

The manager secured continental honors last spring - their first piece of silverware in nearly two decades and their first European trophy in over four decades

Previous Scottish champion likewise vowed, provided with patience, he would maintain his record of claiming honors everywhere he has managed
