The Greek shipping tycoon did not want to pay liquidated damages; so Ao Bo stayed on for the time being and coached against Chelsea

3:45pm, 9 October 2025Football

Hupu, October 9th, the famous Daily Mail reporter Tom Collomosse exclusively reported that the possibility of Ange Postkoglu coaching Nottingham Forest against Chelsea next weekend seems to be increasing, and the club is currently leaning towards retaining the Australian coach for the time being.

On October 2, Nottingham Forest lost 2-3 at home to Midtjylland. The fans chanted "You will be fired tomorrow morning" after the chaotic game. The Australian coach's situation became precarious.

The Daily Mail revealed on October 3 that Nottingham Forest will use the international match day to evaluate Postkoglu’s future, although he only took office on September 9 and has only coached 7 games.

Three days after the match against Midtjylland, Nottingham Forest lost 2-0 away to Newcastle United - Postkoglu's fifth defeat in all competitions.

Although the situation could change again before the game against Chelsea, it is understood that current Nottingham Forest boss Evangelos Marinakis is unlikely to make any decisions during the international break.

Marinakis admires Fulham coach Marco Silva very much, who coached Olympiacos in the 2015-16 season.

But hiring Silva now will require Forest to pay a large compensation package - and the Portuguese coach's contract will expire at the end of this season, so it is possible... right, he just comes for free.

After facing Chelsea on October 18, Forest will face Porto in the Europa League at the City Stadium on October 23, and three days later they will challenge Bournemouth away. Newcastle United's result leaves them one point above the relegation zone.
