See underneath for Postecoglou’s complete clarification of the way it all performed out for him at Tottenham:
“I suppose from my point of view I simply don’t are compatible, no longer right here, simply basically. If you happen to have a look at issues throughout the prism that I’m a failed supervisor who’s fortunate to get this process, I do know you’re smirking at me, however that’s what’s been mentioned, then in fact those first 5 weeks looks as if this man is below force.
However there may be an alternate tale…I got here to the Premier League two years in the past and I took over at Tottenham, I used to be informed by means of the chairman [Daniel Levy] that this membership has to win a trophy. He mentioned we’ve attempted to carry winners in: Jose [Mourinho], Antonio Conte, and it hasn’t labored. We’d like one thing other. I used to be relatively indignant by means of that as a result of I see myself as winner.
I took over Spurs who completed 8th. Large membership, however no Ecu soccer, and one that may’t pass two years with out Ecu soccer. We completed 5th in my first yr and each and every time Harry Kane rankings a purpose [for Bayern after leaving Spurs] I am going, ‘I wish he stayed just one more year’. It will were to hand to have him after completing 5th.
However someway that yr has disappeared from the file books. It used to be even used as a explanation why for me shedding my process as a result of even Tottenham made up our minds to exclude the primary ten video games. But the primary ten video games right here [at Forest] are vital it seems that. However anyway, we completed 5th. I were given them again into Ecu soccer, which is the place a membership like Tottenham must be.
“Then I used to be in conferences and used to be informed we’d like a trophy as a result of it is going to imply the entirety to the soccer membership. That’s superb. We win a trophy. We shed the tag of being ‘Spursy’. [We get] Champions League soccer, which brings some rewards and the chance to carry higher gamers. However all I’ve heard since I stopped at Tottenham is that we completed seventeenth remaining yr.
Extra Tales / Newest Information
“So if you look at it through the prism of finishing 17th, then I am a failed manager who is lucky to get another opportunity. But again, if I have to explain why we finished 17th, it’s really basic. It doesn’t have to be too in-depth. Just look at the last five or six team sheets of last season to see what I prioritised [the Europa League], and who was on the bench. And the last game against Brighton, the players were out partying for two days, which I sanctioned because I felt they deserved to.
“So yes we finished 17th. But if people think that’s a reflection of me and my coaching then again, I think they are looking at it through the prism of I just don’t fit. So we get to the current space [at Forest] where there is a different story to tell, that maybe I am not a failed manager who was lucky to get this job and instead maybe I am a manager who, if you give him time, the story always ends the same. At all my previous clubs, [it ends] with me and a trophy.”

In reality, it merely looks as if sacking Nuno used to be the unsuitable name, because the Portuguese tactician had completed such an excellent process remaining season.
Nuno is now again in Premier League control with West Ham, and there’ll most probably be numerous eyes on him and the way he will get on in comparison to Postecoglou at Woodland.
