Nottingham Forest have sacked Ange Postecoglou just minutes after their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Postecoglou was brought into replace Nuno Espirito Santo in August but departs without registering a single win after just 39 days at the helm.

‘A statement from the club read: 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.’

Former Burnley and Everton manager Sean Dyche is thought to be the front runner to replace Postecoglou.
