Nottingham Forest have parted ways with head coach Ange Postecoglou after yet another disappointing result, as pressure finally boiled over following weeks of poor performances. The decision comes on the heels of a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea earlier today a result that extended Forest’s miserable run to twelve games without a win.
Softfootball understands that Postecoglou, who was appointed earlier this season to replace Nuno Espírito Santo, failed to inspire a turnaround during his short spell in charge. Despite flashes of promise, the team struggled for consistency, and the lack of victories quickly became a growing concern for the club’s hierarchy and fans alike

.
In an official statement by Nottingham Forest released via the team’s official X handle, the club confirmed the sack of the manager, they posted:
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.
The defeat to Chelsea was particularly damaging, with Forest showing little sign of progress under the Australian manager. Postecoglou’s tenure ends without a single win, leaving the club hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Softfootball also reports that early rumours suggest former Everton manager Sean Dyche is among the leading candidates to take over at the City Ground. Dyche’s experience and reputation for building resilient teams could make him the ideal choice to steady the ship as Forest look to salvage their season.
The club is expected to appoint an interim coach in the coming days while discussions over a permanent replacement continue behind the scenes.
