Premier League
The Nottingham Forest has announced the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou minutes after the 3-0 defeat against Chelsea.
The Australian coach failed to win any of his eight matches in charge, leaving the team in a difficult situation in the Premier League.
A Brief Stint at Nottingham Forest's Helm
On September 9, Nottingham Forest entrusted Ange Postecoglou after the departure of Nuno Espírito Santo, hoping the coach would bring stability and results. However, the outcome was disastrous: six defeats and two draws in eight games, with just one goal scored in the last five matches. The team is struggling at the bottom of the table, barely avoiding relegation, prompting the board to make a drastic decision. The offensive performance of Nottingham Forest was a major issue. The team appeared lacking ideas in attack and vulnerable in defense, unable to sustain a project that began with hope but ended in disappointment. The loss against Chelsea was the final straw. Immediately after the match, the club officially announced Ange Postecoglou's departure on their social media platforms.
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 will make no further comment at this time.

A Bitter End for Ange Postecoglou
For Ange Postecoglou, this was his return to English football after his time with Tottenham, where he secured the Europa League, ending a 17-year title drought. However, his stint with Nottingham Forest was far from successful. In just five weeks, he went from being hailed as a prestigious coach to exiting unceremoniously. The Australian failed to connect with the squad or implement his offensive style characterized by high pressing and possession play. In addition, the Nottingham Forest fans quickly lost patience as the team racked up poor results and entered a downward spiral.

Nottingham Forest Seeks a New Direction
The Nottingham Forest board is already working on finding a replacement to reinvigorate the team before the crisis worsens. The list of candidates includes coaches with Premier League experience and young ambitious profiles. The goal is to find a coach who can restore confidence to the group and deliver immediate results. Meanwhile, the squad is trying to digest the news. Some players were surprised by the swift decision, while others acknowledge the team needed an urgent change. Nottingham Forest's priority is to avoid being dragged into the relegation zone by their poor form.
An Uncertain Future for Both Sides
Ange Postecoglou's dismissal raises many uncertainties. The Australian coach must rethink his future after two consecutive abrupt ends in England. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest faces another rebuilding phase, becoming a recurring theme in recent years. The decision to part ways with the coach was anticipated but also reflects the impatience at a club that has invested heavily to stay in the top tier. Now, Nottingham Forest is in search of a new leader to turn the tide and navigate what seems to be a tougher season than anticipated. Ange Postecoglou's departure marks another chapter in the instability of Nottingham Forest, a team still searching to find its way back in the Premier League and, for now, starting anew.
