Ange Postecoglou could now suffer SACK at Nottingham Forest after Newcastle game

Ange Postecoglou is facing a real fight to keep his Nottingham Forest jobfollowing a disastrous start to life at The City Ground. The Aussie replaced Nuno Espirito Santo as the new Reds head coach last month but he has since failed to win any of his opening six matches in charge across all competitions.

Forest were beaten 3-2 at home to FC Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday and there were chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning" after the Danish side scored their third goal.

Loud boos were also audible at the full-time whistle, and the reaction of the Forest fans has triggered alarm bells behind-the-scenes.

Indeed, according to The Telegraph, Postecoglou's position on Trentside is already in doubt, just 24 days into his tenure, with owner Evangelos Marinakis growing concerned by results and performances.

Although it is considered that Sunday's trip to Newcastle United is a tough fixture, it is said another poor showing and defeat could end with Postecoglou getting the sack and having the shortest-ever Premier League reign.

Marinakis is the man that will make the final decision, while he will seek the opinion of chief football officer Ross Wilson and former Arsenal chief Edu Gaspar, who became Forest's global head of football earlier this year before clashing with Nuno.

Despite the uncertainty around Postecoglou's future, Forest are still understood to be fully focused on the game against Newcastle and are determined to support the ex-Tottenham head coach right now.

Postecoglou has picked up two draws and lost four times since becoming Forest's new head coach on September 9. He started off with a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal before losing again, this time at Swansea City in the Carabao Cup.

Two positive performances and results followed as Forest went up to Burnley and drew 1-1 before then heading to Seville and claiming a well-earned 2-2 draw against Real Betis.

It felt as though Postecoglou and Forest might have turned a corner after an encouraging display against Betis, but back-to-back losses at home to Sunderland and Midtjylland have turned up the heat.

Speaking after Forest lost its first European home game in 29 years, Postecoglou said: "Really disappointing. Just really, really poor goals we conceded in the first half that again allow the opposition to get comfortable in the game and it's been the story of our last few games.

"Key moments, let ourselves down. We knew the threat they provided.

"It wasn't anything organisationally, it's just in those moments we haven't shared the same desire and determination as the opposition."
