Nottingham Forest have fired manager Ange Postecoglou just eight games and 39 days after he was hired.
Postecoglou didn’t win any of those eight games across all competitions, and despite Forest showing plenty of promise on the ball and creating chances, it just didn’t work out at both ends of the pitch.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis was at the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at the City Ground on Saturday but was said to have left his seat in the second half.
Postecoglou was fired just minutes after the full time whistle, with Forest confirming the decision in a brief statement.
“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.”
