Coach Enze Postecoglou Nottingham has been at the center of criticism.

Nottingham lost 2-3 in the third round of the England Carabao Cup (League Cup) in the 2025-2026 season against Swansea City (division 2) at Swansea Dotcom Stadium in Swansea, England on the 18th (Korea time). Nottingham led 2-0 in the 15th minute of the first half with consecutive goals from Igor Jeju. However, it quickly collapsed in the second half. It was lost to Cameron Burgess in the 23rd minute of the second half. In the extra time of the second half, he bowed to Liam Cullen and Burgess in succession.

British media Football London reports that Postecoglou reflects Tottenham's worst moment. He lashed out at the Nottingham players, he reported.




Postecoglou has led Tottenham (England) for the past two seasons. Son Heung-min was appointed as captain to keep the balance. He led Tottenham to the top of the Europa League (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season. The English Premier League (EPL) ranking has been hampered. Last season, he remained in 17th place, the remaining Maginot line. Tottenham put Thomas Frank at the helm instead of Postecoglou. Postecoglou, who was unemployed, returned to Nottingham as head coach.

Postecoglou has been tasting bitter after taking the helm of Nottingham. In his debut match as Nottingham head coach on the 13th, he was completely defeated by Arsenal 0-3. On this day, the team suffered a shock upset loss to the second division.

Football London shook his head in shock after allowing a come-from-behind goal. He witnessed a similar situation against Brighton in October last year. Tottenham were leading 2-0 at the time. However, he gave up three goals after that. Postecoglou called it the worst defeat of his tenure. Postecoglou lost back-to-back games at Nottingham. Fans mocked him. Postecoglou suffered a 2-3 defeat in Brighton away games on October 7, 2024, when he was the Tottenham head coach. Tottenham led 2-0 in the first half at the time. However, they lost 2-3 in the second half alone, giving up three goals. Unfortunately, Son Heung-min was injured in the game at the time.




Meanwhile, after the match, Postecoglou said "We had to keep our composure. You don't have to be so crazy in football. Football doesn't go the way it was planned."
