TNT Sports presenter Jules Breach has revealed what happened in the tunnel in the moments before Nottingham Forest sacked Ange Postecoglou.<\/p>\n
The Australian was sacked less than 21 minutes after the final whistle of Forest\u2019s 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Nottingham Forest<\/strong><\/a> sacked Nuno Espirito Santo in the September international break and replaced the Portuguese coach with Postecoglou, who won the Europa League at Tottenham last season.<\/p>\n However, in five Premier League matches, Postecoglou could only get one point from a possible 15, while his side were knocked out of the League Cup by Championship side Swansea and picked up just one point from two Europa League fixtures.<\/p>\n BBC Sport reported that<\/a> Postecoglou was told that he was sacked before speaking to his Nottingham Forest players in his post-match team talk.<\/p>\n The BBC claim: \u2018He [Evangelos Marinakis] did not deliver the news to Postecoglou, with a senior club official instead telling the 60-year-old \u2013 although that is not unusual.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Who will be next Nottingham Forest manager after Ange Postecoglou sack?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Postecoglou then said goodbye to his players, leaving them with an apology it did not work and that he was not able to deliver what he was brought in to do.\u2019<\/p>\n TNT Sports presenter Breach gave details of what she saw happen in the tunnel in and around the time that Postecoglou was sacked by Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n Breach said<\/a>: \u201cDespite the fact there was so much noise about this potentially happening before the match, I still think the timing and the way this has happened has surprised everyone, certainly down in the tunnel and obviously the dressing room as well.<\/p>\n \u201cI was interviewing Morgan Gibbs-White about the match when the news dropped. That\u2019s when we found out Ange Postecoglou had been sacked as Nottingham Forest manager.<\/p>\n \u201cIn that interview, Morgan Gibbs-White said that Ange Postecoglou addressed the players in the dressing room and just talked about how frustrating it was that he can see improvements, the team can see improvements and progression, but they just weren\u2019t putting the ball in the back of the net and were conceding sloppy goals.\u201d<\/p>\n Breach added: \u201cFrom what we saw down in the tunnel, prior to that interview happening, Ange Postecoglou went into the home dressing room, spoke to the players and then actually went down to the other side of the tunnel area. We saw him come out of there and Edu was also in the corridor at that time.<\/p>\n MORE NOTTINGHAM FOREST COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> \u201cAnge Postecoglou left with a bag on his back and went out towards the car park. At that point, it seemed the writing was on the wall but it wasn\u2019t until a few minutes later when the news was confirmed. Ange Postecoglou\u2019s backroom staff are still here, as far as we are aware, Ange Postecoglou has already left the stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison picked out Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White for having \u201cquiet\u201d seasons.<\/p>\n Morrison said on Sky Sports: \u201cNot winning in eight games is nowhere near good enough. They\u2019ve got a big European game in midweek.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were some boos at the end but they weren\u2019t chanting \u2018you\u2019re getting sacked in the morning\u2019 like in previous games.<\/p>\n \u201cThe problem is they can\u2019t keep clean sheets like they did last season. Chris Wood was on fire, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White played well but these players have been quiet this season<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re missing big chances. You do feel for managers in these situations.\u201d<\/p>\n
