Ange Postecoglou SACKED by Nottingham Forest after just 39 days in charge - with 3-0 home defeat by Chelsea seeing Reds endure eight-game winless run

Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Nottingham Forest - just 39 days and eight winless games since he was appointed manager.

Forest lost 3-0 to Chelsea on Saturday lunchtime, their sixth defeat in his short reign which left them 17th in the Premier League table.

The club have not won since the opening game of the season, under Nuno Espirito Santo, who was shown the door two games later.

Postecoglou tried to implement a more attacking style of play than under Nuno, but his tenure began with defeat at Arsenal followed by an embarrassing 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat at Swansea, where they threw away a two-goal lead.
