Nottingham Forest fired manager Ange Postecoglou around 20 minutes after a 3-0 loss to Chelsea on Saturday and just 39 days after the Australian took over.

Postecoglou didn’t win any of his eight matches in charge after replacing Nuno Espirito Santo on Sept. 9 and owner Evangelos Marinakis made a ruthless call after Forest’s fourth straight loss in all competitions.
