It’s was a poison chalice that unless he started winning straight away was always gunna end poorly. He should never have taken that job. Especially the way it was done.
But an EPL gig as manager, you don’t say no.

Inevitable given his results, doubt he’ll ever coach in EPL again. Japan or Middle East possibly ?
The shooting star has come back to Earth.
Pity because his Asian Cup win, World Cup qualification and Premiership wins with Roar and Victory remain highlights of his contribution to Aussie soccer.

It's a tough gig.
Here's a Nott's commentator's version of life at Trentside:


Ange Postecoglou's 39-day disaster at Nottingham Forest—five goalless league defeats and a Europa League flop—slots him second on the Premier League's hall of shame for shortest reigns, nipping just behind Sam Allardyce's 30-day Leeds sideshow.

But let's call the bluff: appointing a possession-obsessed Aussie to a counter-punch squad mid-season, sans preseason? Forest's owners lit the fuse, not Ange's tactics.

This isn't failure—it's sabotage.
Who's next in the Trentside turnover?

Never say never Hal.
It’s not a good look on ya resume, he just needed to be patient he would have got another gig off the back of that spurs win but now there’s an after taste like Pepsi.
He should be patient this time but ya don’t wanna miss the season either. I wonder if ol’Greek billionaire mate took his fake award trophy back?
