ANGE POSTECOGLOU fears he will be SACKED if Nottingham Forest lose to Newcastle — just 24 days after he took charge.
The former Tottenham boss is yet to win a single game since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo.
And he believes he is now on the brink at the City Ground — despite publicly claiming he’s not thinking about the sack.
Postecoglou’s latest setback saw Forest lose 3-2 at home to Midtjylland in the Europa League last night.
Owner Evangelos Marinakis had a face like thunder as supporters booed the dismal performance while calling for the manager’s head.
Postecoglou is now the first Forest boss in 100 years to fail to win any of his opening six matches.
And SunSport understands that the Aussie fears he will be sacked for a second time in four months should Forest lose to Newcastle this weekend.
Postecoglou was given the chop by Spurs in June just days after leading the Londoners to Europa League glory.
He was drafted by Marinakis in September following the Forest owner’s fallout with former boss Nuno.
But another change at the helm is now being considered after defeats to Arsenal, Swansea and Sunderland in September.
Postecoglou’s other two games saw him draw against Burnley and Real Betis.
However, he maintains he is not thinking about an exit and is hopeful of getting a result against Newcastle.
Postecoglou said on Friday: “I get it. It’s a valid assumption in modern football there’s always a manager under pressure, that’s part and parcel of what we do.
“I don’t think that way. I knew I was getting sacked at Tottenham three or four months before I did.
“It didn’t stop me winning something. It doesn’t enter my head. If I start worrying about what’s going to happen next week, I’m not performing the role I’ve been given.
“It’s not helpful to anyone. The things I control are the environment training, the way we play. I am strong in my belief we are not too far away.”
