"The head coach was appointed on 9 September after the acrimonious parting of the ways between Nuno Espirito Santo and Evangelos Marinakis, Forest's owner. Postecoglou, the No 1 target for Marinakis, leaves with Forest one point and one place above the relegation zone, having failed to win any of his eight games in charge. Postecoglou's reign is the shortest in Premier League history, the unwanted record previously held by Les Reed, who had 41 days at Charlton in 2006."
"The Australian, sacked by Tottenham in June, started with a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal, then saw Forest surrender a 2-0 half-time lead at Swansea in the Carabao Cup, losing to two added-time goals. A 1-1 draw at Burnley was followed by Real Betis scoring a late equaliser in a 2-2 Europa League draw, after which Forest lost four times in a row: at home to Sunderland and Midtjylland, then at Newcastle, before Saturday's defeat by Chelsea."
Nottingham Forest dismissed Ange Postecoglou after 40 days in charge following a run of disappointing results and performances. Postecoglou was appointed on 9 September and left with Forest one point and one place above the relegation zone, having failed to win any of his eight games. The tenure became the shortest managerial reign in Premier League history. The sequence of results included defeats to Arsenal, Sunderland, Midtjylland, Newcastle and Chelsea, a squandered lead at Swansea in the Carabao Cup, draws with Burnley and Real Betis in cup and European competition, and growing unrest among supporters.
