Forest sack coach Postecoglou after 39-day spell

Nottingham Forest have announced the sacking of head coach Ange Postecoglou.

The coach was dismissed on Saturday shortly after leading the team to a 3-0 loss at home to Chelsea in the English Premier League (EPL) match of the weekend.

Postecoglou leaves Forest after only eight matches with the club. He did not win a single match, claiming two draws.

The former Tottenham Hotspur coach lasted just 39 days in charge of Forest after joining the club on September 9.

‎The club also took to its website to announce Postecoglou’s dismissal in a terse statement.

‎Forest offered no farewell wishes to the Europa League winner sacked after the disappointing winless run.

“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,” it reads.

“The Club will make no further comment at this time.”

Postecoglou is the second coach to be sacked by Forest this season, following the shock exit of Nuno Espirito Santo earlier in the season.

He leaves the club in 17th place, with just five Points from eight matches.
