Overview

• The club confirmed the dismissal about 20 minutes after the final whistle, citing a series of disappointing results and performances in a brief statement.
• Postecoglou's 39 days in charge constitute the shortest managerial stint in Premier League history, surpassing Les Reed's 40 days at Charlton in 2006.
• Forest failed to win any of the eight league matches under Postecoglou, taking two draws and five points from eight games to sit 17th in the table.
• English media reported that owner Evangelos Marinakis left the stadium during the second half of the Chelsea defeat.
• The sacking follows Forest's earlier departure from Nuno Espírito Santo this season and comes months after Tottenham dismissed Postecoglou despite a Europa League title.
