Ange Postecoglou may not end up going up against his old side, Tottenham Hotspur, given the latest developments at Nottingham Forest.
Just months after being sacked by Spurs, Postecoglou completed his return to the Premier League at the start of September, replacing another former Tottenham boss, Nuno Espirito Santo, as the Forest head coach.
As soon as the Australian took over at the City Ground, Tottenham fans had earmarked the date 13 December on their calendar, which is when the Lilywhites travel to the Midlands to take on Forest.
However, it turns out that the former Spurs boss is not likely to be in charge by the time that the Lilywhites take on Forest.
Ange Postecoglou may not last long enough to face Tottenham
The Australian is winless in his first seven games across all competitions in his new job, and things do not get easier for him as Forest host Chelsea this Saturday.
It has now been revealed by talkSPORT that Postecoglou will be in charge of the clash against the Blues, but his future beyond that is uncertain.
A poor result on Sunday could see owner Evangelos Marinakis wield the axe on the 60-year-old, which means that there are serious doubts over whether Postecoglou will face Spurs, with the fixture still being nearly two months away.
The report adds that former Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche is being considered as one of the options to replace the former Tottenham Hotspur boss at the City Ground.
Former Spurs official’s appointment is bad news for Postecoglou
A few days ago, it emerged that former Tottenham chief football officer Scott Munn has been appointed as the head of football at Italian side Parma, just four months after being let go by Spurs.
Interestingly, this latest update by talkSPORT reveals that Munn, who was a close ally of Postecoglou at Spurs, was being considered for a boardroom role at the City Ground.
However, Forest chiefs are now looking at other options for their chief football officer role, and their decision to pass up on Munn is seen as an indication that the club’s hierarchy are not completely on board with their new manager.
