The leadership of Nottingham Forest coach Enze Postecoglou, who returned to the English Premier League (EPL) ambitiously, faced a major crisis. The leading British media began to comment on 'early harden'. This is because Nottingham's performance is rarely reviving. Nottingham's choice of bringing Postecoglou is increasingly recognized as a mistake.
BBC, a British public broadcaster, said on the 6th (Korea time) 'Postecoglou is being compared to former Rangers coach Russell Martin. Former manager Martin was fired 123 days after taking over at Rangers, reports said.
This is a comparison between former coach Russell and Postecoglou on the same line. This is a warning message that Postecoglou could end up with a miserable dismissal like former coach Martin in Nottingham.
This is because Nottingham has rarely shown good performance since Postecoglou took over. Nottingham officially announced on the 9th of last month that it had replaced Nunu Espiritu Santo and appointed former Tottenham manager Postecoglou instead.

Owner Marinakis immediately pressed the dismissal button after Nunu, who led Nottingham to a European club competition in 30 years by ranking seventh in the EPL last season, lost 0-3 to West Ham in the third round. He then appointed former Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou.
However, Postecoglou and Nottingham did not fit in at all. More specifically, Santo led Nottingham and built a solid defensive style, which did not fit Postecoglou's style. Postecoglou prefers attack-oriented tactics.

Even in the third round of the English Carabao Cup against Swansea City in the Championship (second division), they led 2-0 and lost 2-3 after conceding three goals in the second half alone. He also failed to use any strength in matches against relatively weak teams such as Sunderland (0-1 loss) or Denmark's Mitwillan (2-3 loss).

In the end, if Postecoglou fails to escape the crisis, there is a possibility of an early replacement. Fans are already voicing their desire for the early replacement of Postecoglou. When Postecoglou performed well at Tottenham, there was an outstanding ace called Son Heung-min. However, there is no player to play Son Heung-min's role in Nottingham.
