Nottingham Forest Sack Ange Postecoglou After Eight-Game Winless Streak

Nottingham Forest have officially parted ways with manager Ange Postecoglou following a dismal run of results that saw the club go eight matches without a win across all competitions.

The decision came shortly after Forest’s 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, a result that proved to be the final straw for the club’s hierarchy, who had grown increasingly frustrated with the team’s performances and lack of progress.

Postecoglou, who was appointed earlier this season amid high expectations due to his attacking philosophy and success at previous clubs, failed to deliver the desired turnaround at the City Ground. Under his leadership, Forest endured a torrid spell, losing six of their eight matches and drawing the remaining two.

The poor form was compounded by an early Carabao Cup exit, where Forest suffered a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to Swansea City. Despite leading 2-1 in stoppage time, Postecoglou’s men conceded twice in quick succession, crashing out in dramatic fashion and further denting team morale.

Club insiders revealed that discussions about his future had intensified in recent weeks, with concerns that the squad had lost confidence in his tactics and leadership style. The latest loss to Chelsea, marked by defensive errors and a lack of creativity in attack, sealed his fate.

A statement from Nottingham Forest confirmed the decision, thanking Postecoglou for his efforts but noting that “results and performances have not met the club’s expectations.”

The club also announced that an interim manager will take charge of the team while the search for a permanent replacement begins immediately.

Postecoglou’s departure marks another chapter in Forest’s turbulent managerial history as the club continues to struggle for consistency in the Premier League.
