Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is reportedly considering Ange Postecoglou’s future. The club’s hierarchy is exploring potential replacements. Fulham‘s Marco Silva is among the options being considered by the Nottingham Forest leadership.
Marinakis considers Marco Silva to replace Postecoglou
Evangelos Marinakis and Marco Silva have a history together at Olympiakos. Silva previously managed Olympiakos, leading them to a record-breaking 17-game winning streak at the start of the 2015 season. They won the title with six games to spare.
Silva stepped down from his role in Athens but maintained a positive relationship with Marinakis. He was also reportedly frustrated with Fulham’s spending during the summer transfer window. However, Fulham completed several deals near the window’s end.
Silva rejected a move to the Saudi Pro League during the summer. His contract with Fulham expires at the end of the current season. Contract talks have not progressed thus far. Marinakis may consider reuniting with the Portuguese manager.
Nottingham Forest concerned about current form
Marinakis is discussing Postecoglou’s future internally at Nottingham Forest. He is reportedly concerned about the club’s seven-game winless streak. This concern exists despite significant summer spending on a revamped squad.
Several figures within the club believe a change might be necessary. Postecoglou’s appointment to replace Nuno Espirito Santo was unpopular, according to reports. Marinakis is now carefully considering his next steps.
Marinakis could give the Australian manager six more games. This would take him up to the November international break. The owner faces a difficult decision regarding the managerial position.
Marinakis weighs options for Nottingham Forest
Chief correspondent Graeme Bailey stated that Evangelos Marinakis has a significant decision to make. He is reportedly very worried about Nottingham Forest’s performances under Postecoglou. The performances have been described as “really poor.”
Ultimately, the decision rests with Marinakis, as he initially pushed for Postecoglou’s appointment. Marco Silva is one of the options being considered. Marinakis reportedly appreciates Silva’s style of play, recalling their successful time together at Olympiakos.
The question on everyone’s mind is whether Nottingham Forest will sack Postecoglou. All eyes will be on Marinakis as he makes his crucial decision. The club’s future hinges on his choice.
