Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou was sacked on Saturday after just eight matches in charge — just minutes after a 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea.<\/p>\n

“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 posted on X.<\/p>\n

“The club will make no further comment at this time.”<\/p>\n

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis left his seat during through the contest at City Ground and an announcement on Postecoglou’s future was confirmed shortly after full-time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Postecoglou was only appointed on September 9 — months after Europa League success with Tottenham — but after no win and six defeats from his first eight matches, Marinakis has acted and Forest are on the hunt for a third manager this season.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou was defiant at his pre-match press conference on Friday, saying if he is given time at a club it always ends “with me and a trophy”.<\/p>\n

Former Burnley and Everton manager Sean Dyche is reportedly in the frame to be the new boss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou was sacked on Saturday after just eight matches in charge — just minutes…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4443,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,37,43],"tags":[46,76,39,48,50,53,68],"class_list":["post-4438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-national","category-soccer","category-sports","tag-africa","tag-chelsea","tag-entertainment","tag-feature","tag-international","tag-soccer","tag-sport","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nForest sack manager Postecoglou immediately after loss to Chelsea -
