Embattled manager the Forest head coach presented a heartfelt justification of his legacy while promising to secure trophies at Nottingham Forest provided with patience

The experienced manager faces scrutiny following his inability to secure victory in none of his initial seven fixtures after taking over from the former manager recently

Forest have been considering their options during the international break, and former Clarets coach the defensive specialist one of the candidates reviewed as a potential replacement even though Postecoglou having been in charge for less than six weeks

They host the Blues in their next match with the manager gave a five-minute monologue at his pre-match press conference, as Forest 17th in England's top flight

"Some look at the weeds but I look at the development occurring," he declared, "I am really excited because I possess a squad of emerging talents eager to transform"

He also confirmed there was no discussion to owner Evangelos Marinakis throughout the break

"I am not wasting my time on what people think" he added

"I genuinely don't match, not here, just in general" he elaborated

Prior Management Role

"I assumed control of Tottenham and was informed by the chairman back then 'this club must secure honors'"

"He stated 'we attempted to hire successful managers, Jose [Mourinho] and Antonio [Conte] and it hasn't worked, we must have an alternative method'"

"I was a bit taken aback by those words as I view myself as triumphant"

Justifying His Performance

"We secured fifth place my first year" he remembered

"Every time Harry Kane scored a goal I would hope he had remained one more year because it would have been useful to have him following our fifth-place finish"

"However strangely that campaign has disappeared from public memory" he asserted

Moving Ahead

"Therefore, we arrive at the current space in which there exists a different story to tell, that possibly I am not an unsuccessful coach who got lucky to get this job"

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

"With every team I've managed, it ends the same - with me holding silverware"

The manager secured continental honors this year - Tottenham's first trophy for 17 years plus their first UEFA trophy after forty-one years

Former Celtic manager also promised, allowed sufficient opportunity, he would continue his history of securing silverware everywhere he has managed
