Nottingham Forest has dismissed head coach Ange Postecoglou just 18 minutes after a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea. Under his leadership, the team failed to win any of their last eight matches. Appointed on September 9, Postecoglou recorded six losses, marking the second-shortest managerial stint in Premier League history. The club cited disappointing results and performances as reasons for his departure.

Despite a promising start and missed chances by Taiwo Awoniyi, Elliot Anderson, and Morgan Gibbs-White, Forest collapsed in the second half. Goals from Josh Acheampong and Pedro Neto led to a negative reaction from the fans, and Reece James' third goal sealed the loss. Forest now sits 17th, just one point above the relegation zone, with upcoming matches against Porto in the Europa League and Bournemouth in the league.
