Ange Postecoglou has not won none of his seven fixtures following his succession of the previous manager in September
Under-fire boss the Forest head coach offered an emotional defence regarding his track record while promising to claim trophies with the club allowed sufficient opportunity
The veteran coach is under pressure following his inability to secure victory in any of his first seven matches since replacing the former manager last month
Forest have been considering available choices during the international break, and former Clarets coach Sean Dyche among the names considered as a potential replacement despite Postecoglou only being appointed for less than six weeks
Forest faces the Blues on Saturday and Postecoglou gave a lengthy address during his pre-game press conference, with Forest sitting 17th in England's top flight
"Many observers concentrate at the weeds while I observe at the development occurring," he declared, "I am really excited since I work with a team of developing footballers ready to evolve"
The manager additionally revealed he hadn't communicated with the chairman the Greek businessman throughout the break
"I don't intend to use my energy regarding external perceptions" he emphasized
"I genuinely don't match, not just at Forest, just in general" he clarified
Prior Management Role
"I took over Tottenham and was told by the chairman during that period 'this club needs to claim silverware'"
"He stated 'we've tried to bring winners in, the Portuguese coach and Antonio [Conte] yet it proved unsuccessful, we must have an alternative method'"
"I was a bit taken aback by those words as I view myself as successful"
Defending His Record
"We secured fifth place during my debut season" he noted
"Whenever the star striker scored a goal I often thought he had remained for another season as it would have proven beneficial to retain him after finishing fifth"
"Yet somehow that season has been erased from public memory" he contended
Moving Ahead
"Thus, we reach the existing circumstances where there's another perspective to present, that perhaps I'm not a failed manager who was lucky to obtain this role"
"but perhaps I am a coach that when allowed opportunity, the narrative consistently concludes identically"
"Throughout my coaching career, the result is consistent - alongside me celebrating success"
Postecoglou won the Europa League this year - their first piece of silverware for 17 years and their first European honor in over four decades
