Ange Postecoglou sacked by Forest after 39 days in charge

Nottingham Forest have sacked Ange Postecoglou 39 days after appointing him as head coach on Sept. 9 and just minutes after the team's defeat by Chelsea on Saturday.
Postecoglou's exit makes his reign the second shortest in Premier League history. Technically, Sam Allardyce's 30 days in charge of Leeds United in 2023 is the record holder -- he was brought in on May 3 in a last-ditch attempt to keep Leeds up, but after he failed to do so, his contract came to an end on June 2.
Les Reed is next on the list (40 days). Reed was sacked 40 days after taking over at Charlton in 2006.
