In a stunning and unexpected move, Nottingham Forest have announced the sacking of Ange Postecoglou just 39 days after his appointment as head coach. The decision comes following a poor run of results that has left the club languishing near the bottom of the Premier League table, prompting the Forest board to take swift action.
Postecoglou, who joined Forest in early September amid high expectations, struggled to implement his attacking philosophy in a squad still adapting to his demanding style of play. Despite flashes of promise, Forest’s performances were inconsistent, and their defensive frailties proved costly in key fixtures.
A club statement confirmed the decision, thanking Postecoglou for his professionalism and wishing him success in the future. “The club believes a change in leadership is necessary to safeguard our season and achieve our objectives,” the statement read.
Postecoglou’s departure makes him one of the shortest-serving managers in Forest’s modern history, and attention now turns to who will take charge next. Early reports suggest the club could look for a more pragmatic coach to stabilize results before the busy winter period.
Forest are expected to name an interim manager in the coming days.
