"Over the weekend, Nottingham Forest took the decision to sack Ange Postecoglou, who had only been in charge for 39 days. The former Tottenham manager was dismissed minutes after the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, thus bringing to an end a difficult spell at the City Ground. Postecoglou became the second Forest manager to be sacked this season, following Nuno Espirito Santo."
"I think you've got to go back a little bit really and ask yourself why Nuno got sacked in the first place. Obviously, there was a breakdown there, but when you look to replace somebody it's very strange to replace them with somebody who is so completely opposite of the last manager given the squad of players that they've got. So, that was the first problem in my opinion."
"Now, secondly, is 39 days long enough for a manager to try to implement a completely different system on a new set of players? It's not. He's probably a little bit unfortunate, Ange, in that they were in European football as well because there just wasn't any real breaks for him to work on his team. It was just game after game after game every three or four days."
Nottingham Forest dismissed Ange Postecoglou minutes after a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, ending a 39-day tenure. He became the club's second managerial casualty of the season after Nuno Espirito Santo. Matt Le Tissier expressed little sympathy but believed the club should have given Postecoglou more time to implement his methods. Le Tissier criticized the choice to replace Nuno with a manager whose style contrasts with the existing squad and questioned whether 39 days was sufficient to install a new system. He noted European fixtures limited opportunities for training between matches.
