Unyielding Postecoglou Asserts 'Allow Me Opportunity' During Criticism
Ange Postecoglou has not won none of his seven games since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo this autumn
Embattled coach the Forest head coach offered a passionate explanation about his career and committed to claim honors for the team if given time
The experienced manager is being questioned following his inability to triumph in none of his opening seven games after taking over from Nuno Espirito Santo in September
Nottingham Forest were assessing available choices over the pause in fixtures, with ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche a potential option considered as an alternative although the current manager just taking over for just 38 days
The team welcomes the Blues in their next match and Postecoglou delivered a lengthy address in his match preview press conference, with Forest 17th in the Premier League
"Some look on the negatives yet I notice at the development occurring," he stated, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic as I have a squad of emerging talents eager to transform"
He also confirmed he did not speak with the chairman the Greek businessman over the recent pause
"I am not wasting my focus on what people think" he added
"I simply don't conform, not only in this role, across the board" he elaborated
Prior Management Role
"I assumed control of the North London club and was informed from the owner back then 'this organization has to win silverware'"
"He said 'we've tried to hire successful managers, the Portuguese coach and Antonio [Conte] yet it proved unsuccessful, we need something different'"
"I felt somewhat insulted by that since I consider myself as triumphant"
Explaining His Results
"We ended up in fifth position my first year" he noted
"Whenever the England captain found the net I would hope he would have continued for additional time since it could have been beneficial to have him after finishing fifth"
"However strangely that season has disappeared from historical accounts" he argued
Moving Ahead
"Therefore, we arrive at the existing circumstances where there's another perspective to tell, that possibly I'm not a disappointing tactician who was fortunate to get this job"
"but maybe I'm a leader that if you give them time, the tale invariably finishes similarly"
"With every team I've managed, it ends the same - through my leadership holding silverware"
The manager secured European silverware this year - Tottenham's first trophy for 17 years and their first European trophy after forty-one years
Former Celtic manager also promised, allowed sufficient opportunity, he would continue his track record of securing silverware throughout his managerial career
