Postecoglou fired by Forest after eight games, 39 days
The Independent
|October 19, 2025
Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Nottingham Forest after just eight games in charge. Postecoglou lasted just 39 days in charge of Forest, the shortest managerial reign in Premier League history.
The former Tottenham Hotspur boss replaced Nuno Espirito Santo just three games into the season last month, but has been dismissed after becoming the first manager in the club's history to fail to win any of his first eight games.
Postecoglou's sacking was confirmed just 19 minutes after the final whistle blew in their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea yesterday, where club owner Evangelos Marinakis left his seat before full-time as home fans streamed for the exits.
It leaves Forest 17th in the Premier League table and searching for a third manager of the season. Former Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche has been linked as a possible replacement.
The 60-year-old had delivered a defiant speech in Friday's press conference and said if given the time, "the story always ends the same... me with a trophy".
But a 39-word club statement said: "Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that after a series of disappointing results and performances, Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties as head coach with immediate effect. The club will make no further comment at this time."
