Nottingham Forest have sacked Ange Postecoglou after only 40 days and eight matches in charge following a 3-0 home loss to Chelsea.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis left his seat midway through the contest at City Ground and an announcement on Postecoglou’s future was confirmed 19 minutes after full-time.

Postecoglou was only appointed on September 9 – four months on from 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 already this season.
