Defiant Forest Boss Declares 'Allow Me Chance' Amid Pressure
The Forest manager has not won any of his seven games after taking over from the previous manager in September
Embattled manager Ange Postecoglou presented an emotional explanation of his legacy as he vowed to secure silverware for the team if given time
The 60-year-old faces scrutiny having been unable to win none of his first seven matches since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo recently
The club has been considering their options throughout the break, and former Clarets coach the experienced tactician a potential option evaluated as an alternative even though Postecoglou only being appointed for less than six weeks
Forest faces the Blues in their next match with the manager delivered a lengthy address at his pre-match press conference, with the team sitting 17th in the top division
"Certain people focus at the weeds but I look at what is growing," he stated, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic since I work with a team of developing footballers eager to transform"
He also confirmed he did not speak with the chairman Evangelos Marinakis over the recent pause
"I am not wasting my time on what people think" he emphasized
"I just don't fit, not here, just in general" he elaborated
Prior Management Role
"I took over Spurs and was told by the leadership at the time 'this club must secure silverware'"
"He said 'we attempted to bring winners in, Jose [Mourinho] and Antonio [Conte] but it didn't succeed, we need an alternative method'"
"I felt somewhat insulted by that because I see myself as triumphant"
Justifying His Performance
"We secured fifth place in my initial campaign" he recalled
"Every time the star striker put the ball in I would hope he would have continued one more year since it could have been beneficial to have him following our fifth-place finish"
"Yet somehow that year has disappeared from historical accounts" he argued
Moving Ahead
"Thus, we reach the current space where there remains another perspective to share, that possibly I'm no a disappointing tactician who was fortunate to secure this position"
"but maybe I'm a leader who if provided patience, the story always ends similarly"
"Throughout my coaching career, it ends the same - alongside me holding silverware"
Postecoglou won continental honors last spring - Tottenham's first trophy in nearly two decades and their first European trophy after forty-one years
Previous Scottish champion likewise vowed, allowed sufficient opportunity, he would persist with his track record of securing silverware everywhere he has managed
