Embattled boss the Forest head coach presented a heartfelt explanation of his legacy while promising to win honors for the team allowed sufficient opportunity
The veteran coach faces scrutiny following his inability to triumph in a single one of his opening seven games following his appointment instead of the previous boss in September
Forest have been assessing their options during the international break, with ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche a potential option considered to possibly take over although the current manager just taking over for just 38 days
The team welcomes the London club in their next match while Postecoglou delivered a five-minute monologue at his pre-match press conference, as Forest sitting 17th in the top division
"Some look on the negatives while I observe at the development occurring," he said, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic because I possess a team of developing footballers eager to transform"
Postecoglou likewise stated there was no discussion with the chairman the Greek businessman over the recent pause
"I am not wasting my energy on what people think" he emphasized
"I genuinely don't match, not here, just in general" he elaborated
Prior Management Role
"I took over Spurs and received instructions by the chairman back then 'this organization needs to claim a trophy'"
"He stated 'we endeavored to hire successful managers, Jose [Mourinho] and the former Chelsea boss and it hasn't worked, we require a different approach'"
"I was a bit taken aback by that statement because I see myself as triumphant"
Explaining His Results
"We finished fifth my first year" he remembered
"Every time the England captain found the net I would hope he would have continued one more year because it would have been useful to retain him following our fifth-place finish"
"However strangely that campaign has vanished from public memory" he argued
Looking Forward
"Therefore, we arrive at the existing circumstances where there's another perspective to present, that possibly I am not a failed manager who was fortunate to get this job"
"but perhaps I'm a manager that if you give them time, the narrative consistently concludes similarly"
"With every team I've managed, the result is consistent - alongside me and a trophy"
The manager secured continental honors this year - Tottenham's first trophy after a long drought plus their first UEFA trophy in over four decades
Previous Scottish champion likewise vowed, if given time, he would continue his track record of securing silverware throughout his managerial career
