Nottingham Forest sacked manager Ange Postecoglou just minutes after Saturday’s 3–0 defeat to Chelsea.
Postecoglou only took over at Forest in September, replacing Nuno Espírito Santo after behind-the-scenes tensions saw the popular Portuguese tactician depart the club, but he failed to win any of his seven games in charge before the international break.
It soon emerged that Postecoglou’s position could be in danger with one more defeat, and that ultimately proved to be the case as Forest did not wait long to sack the manager in the aftermath of Saturday’s loss.
“Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that after a series of disappointing results and performances, Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties as head coach with immediate effect,” a brief statement read.
It brings an end to Postecoglou’s Forest tenure at just 39 days—the second-shortest reign in Premier League history.
