Pressured manager Ange Postecoglou offered a passionate explanation about his career as he vowed to secure honors at Nottingham Forest provided with patience

The experienced manager is under pressure following his inability to win none of his initial seven fixtures following his appointment instead of the previous boss recently

Nottingham Forest were reviewing their options during the international break, with ex-Burnley boss the experienced tactician among the names considered to possibly take over although the current manager only being appointed for less than six weeks

Forest faces the London club in their next match and Postecoglou delivered an extended speech in his match preview press conference, with the team sitting 17th in the top division

"Some look at the weeds but I look at the development occurring," he declared, "I'm genuinely enthusiastic as I have a squad of emerging talents ready to evolve"

Postecoglou likewise stated he hadn't communicated with the chairman the Forest proprietor throughout the break

"I refuse to spend my time about others' opinions" he emphasized

"I just don't fit, not only in this role, across the board" he elaborated

Tottenham Experience

"I took over Tottenham and was told by the chairman back then 'this club needs to claim silverware'"

"He said 'we attempted to hire successful managers, the Special One and Antonio [Conte] yet it proved unsuccessful, we need something different'"

"I was slightly offended by that statement since I consider myself as triumphant"

Explaining His Results

"We secured fifth place in my initial campaign" he noted

"Whenever the star striker put the ball in I'd wish he had remained for additional time as it would have proven useful to keep his services after finishing fifth"

"But somehow that campaign has vanished from historical accounts" he asserted

Moving Ahead

"Thus, we reach the current space in which there exists another perspective to tell, that perhaps I'm no a failed manager who was lucky to secure this position"

"but possibly I'm a leader that when allowed opportunity, the tale invariably finishes similarly"

"With every team I've managed, the result is consistent - alongside me celebrating success"

The manager secured the Europa League last spring - Tottenham's first trophy in nearly two decades and their first European trophy after forty-one years

The ex-Celtic boss also promised, if given time, he would persist with his history of securing silverware throughout his managerial career
