Son Heung-min's teacher, Enze Postecoglou, Nottingham Forest coach, was pushed to the edge of the cliff.
Nottingham fans are demanding the replacement of Postecoglou, who has only been at the helm for a month. That's why Postecoglou led seven games but failed to report a single win.
Nottingham replaced Nunu Espiritu Santo, another teacher of Son Heung-min, on the 9th of last month (Korea time) and appointed Postecoglou as its new head coach. Postecoglou returned to the English Premier League (EPL) three months after stepping down as head coach of Tottenham. He presented Tottenham with the Europa League trophy, but was eventually replaced by 17th place in the EPL.
Postecoglou was completely defeated 0-3 in his Nottingham debut match against Arsenal on the 13th of last month. The third round of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) against Swansea City in the Championship (Second Division) on the 18th was the opportunity to win for the first time. But lead 2-0 It was a huge shock to lose 2-3.
It was twisted from the first step. In the EPL and Europa League, the slump continued. Postecoglou's report card is two draws and five losses.

There were also criticisms that it was too much selection. Coach Nunu Santo placed Nottingham in seventh place in the EPL last season, giving him a ticket to the European club's first competition in 30 years. However, there was a conflict with Evangelos Marinakis, the leading eccentric owner of European football. Eventually, less than a month after the opening, he pressed the replacement button.
The owner of the Marinakis is a rich man from Greece. The person he held hands with was director Postecoglou, a Greek-born Australian. Coach Postecoglou denies it, but the two have reportedly had a secret relationship for years.
The owner of the Marinakis also had a fire on his foot. But the problem is that there is no alternative. England's 'Evening Standard' reported on the 9th that `Postecoglou is expected to continue his position as head coach despite a gloomy start in Nottingham.'
Marinakis is said to have manager Marco Silva Fulham in mind as Nottingham's head coach. In addition to Nottingham, he also owns Olympiacos in Greece and Hiu Abe in Portugal. I worked with Silva at the Olympiakos.

However, local media in the UK say that if Silva is hired during the season, he will have to pay a considerable penalty to Fulham. The reality is that Postecoglou has no choice but to continue to take the helm.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert on European transfer markets, also said "Nothing has been decided yet at this time. Postecoglou thinks he will have more time to play his game at Nottingham and change things up. I know it's not an easy situation recently. However, I do not know that Nottingham is in discussions with other coaches or has told Postecoglou about his dismissal."
Coach Postecoglou must somehow turn the tables after the A-match period. However, the situation is not easy because the next opponent is Chelsea.
