Defeat to Chelsea left him winless after eight games
His reign is the shortest in Premier League history
Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Nottingham Forest after 40 days in charge, following Saturday’s 3-0 defeat by Chelsea.
Forest wrote on social media: “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. The Club will make no further comment at this time.”
The head coach was appointed on 9 September after the acrimonious parting of the ways between Nuno Espírito Santo and Evangelos Marinakis, Forest’s owner. Postecoglou, the No 1 target for Marinakis, leaves with Forest one point and one place above the relegation zone, having failed to win any of his eight games in charge.
