NOTTINGHAM, England – Ange Postecoglou is still searching for his first victory as Nottingham Forest manager after a winless start to his tenure.
The Australian, who took over from Nuno Espírito Santo, has overseen a difficult run of results in his first four games across all competitions.
The run began with a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, followed by a shocking 3-2 loss to Championship side Swansea in the Carabao Cup.
Forest then secured their first points under Postecoglou with a 1-1 draw against Burnley in the Premier League.
The most recent result was a 2-2 draw with Real Betis in the Europa League, a match where Forest had taken a two-goal lead.
Despite the challenging start, there have been signs of “Angeball” taking hold, with the team showing a more possession-based and attack-minded style.
However, the results have yet to follow. Postecoglou’s side is reportedly winless in their last five Premier League matches and sits in the relegation zone.
The manager has expressed confidence that results will turn, citing the team’s promising performances despite the setbacks.
While the pressure is mounting, the club and its fans are hopeful that with more time, Postecoglou can implement his philosophy and guide the team to success.
