Defiant Postecoglou Insists 'Give Me Time' Amid Criticism
Ange Postecoglou is yet to secure none of his seven fixtures since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo last month
Pressured manager Ange Postecoglou presented a heartfelt explanation about his career and committed to secure trophies at Nottingham Forest provided with patience
The 60-year-old is under pressure having been unable to triumph in none of his initial seven fixtures following his appointment instead of Nuno Espirito Santo in September
The club has been reviewing available choices during the international break, including former Burnley manager Sean Dyche among the names reviewed as an alternative even though Postecoglou just taking over for barely over a month
They host the London club in their next match while Postecoglou delivered a five-minute monologue at his pre-match media briefing, as Forest 17th in the top division
"Some look on the problems while I observe at the development occurring," he stated, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic since I work with a group of young players ready to evolve"
Postecoglou likewise stated he did not speak with the chairman the Greek businessman during the international break
"I refuse to spend my energy regarding external perceptions" he emphasized
"I genuinely don't match, not only in this role, across the board" he explained
Prior Management Role
"I took over Tottenham and was told by the chairman at the time 'this organization must secure silverware'"
"He commented 'we endeavored to bring winners in, the Special One and the Italian tactician but it didn't succeed, we must have a different approach'"
"I felt somewhat insulted by that statement since I consider myself as triumphant"
Explaining His Results
"We finished fifth in my initial campaign" he noted
"Every time the star striker scored a goal I often thought he had remained one more year because it would have been beneficial to retain him after finishing fifth"
"But somehow that campaign has disappeared from historical accounts" he asserted
Moving Ahead
"So, we get to the present situation where there's another perspective to share, that perhaps I'm not an unsuccessful coach who was fortunate to obtain this role"
"but maybe I'm a manager who if provided patience, the narrative consistently concludes the same"
"At all my previous clubs, the result is consistent - through my leadership celebrating success"
He claimed continental honors last spring - Tottenham's first trophy after a long drought plus their first UEFA silverware for 41
Previous Scottish champion also promised, allowed sufficient opportunity, he would persist with his history of winning trophies at each club he's coached
