Nottingham Forest has dismissed Ange Postecoglou following a string of poor results during his eight-match tenure as head coach. The decision came swiftly after a 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea, with the club announcing his departure just 20 minutes after the final whistle. The 60-year-old, who signed a two-year contract on September 9, failed to secure a win, recording six losses and two draws over his 39-day stint.

Postecoglou faced mounting pressure from fans, particularly after a loss to FC Midtjylland, where chants of "sacked in the morning" were heard. Despite expressing confidence in winning a trophy with the team at his last pre-match press conference, his tenure was marred by missed scoring opportunities and defensive issues, including conceding 11 goals from set pieces. This coaching change highlights the club's impatience for quick results, though such moves can lead to long-term instability.
