Nottingham Forest removed head coach Ange Postecoglou from his position just 39 days after he failed to win any of the eight matches that he presided over.

On Saturday, October 18, Forest was defeated 3-0 by Chelsea at the City Ground, and just 17 minutes after the result, it was announced that Postecoglou will not lead the team as the manager anymore.

The Australian's dismissal, who was appointed on September 9, means Postecoglou's reign at Forest is the shortest permanent managerial period in Premier League history.

He failed to win any of his eight matches in charge of Forest, with two draws and six defeats across all competitions.

Following the sacking of Postecoglou, the Forest are understood to make his replacement appointment soon, as they are reportedly considering Sean Dyche and Marco Silva.

Postecoglou's staff, including Nick Montgomery, Mile Jedinak and Sergio Raimundo, are also expected to leave.

A senior club official informed the now-former coach about his dismissal, following which he said goodbye to his players, leaving them with an apology that he could not deliver the desired result.
