"Ange Postecoglou had only just moved into his new flat. The Australian barely had time to unpack in the new apartment before being sacked as Nottingham Forest manager. Only 39 days after being appointed, the 60-year-old became the shortest serving permanent Premier League manager. He did not even have time to take his post-match news conference, Forest acting only 19 minutes after the final whistle of the 3-0 Premier League defeat by Chelsea."
"Postecoglou, having replaced Nuno Espirito Santo on 9 September, was supposed to take the club to the next level and to their first major trophy since 1990. Instead, the club are left muddled, lacking a clear identify and direction, and looking for a third manager of the season two months into a campaign which had promised so much. Saturday's defeat was the final straw for owner Evangelos Marinakis, who left his seat"
Ange Postecoglou was appointed Nottingham Forest manager on 9 September but was sacked 39 days later, becoming the Premier League's shortest-serving permanent manager. He moved into a new flat and had little time to prepare, missing a post-match news conference after Forest's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea when the club acted 19 minutes after the final whistle. The club sought a step up and a first major trophy since 1990 but are now muddled, lacking clear identity and direction. Postecoglou respected the squad's bond with former manager Nuno, but limited training time and a major tactical shift to high-pressing football exposed doubts. Some players adapted well while others struggled with the change.
