Nottingham Forest have parted ways with manager Ange Postecoglou following the club’s disappointing defeat to Chelsea, bringing an abrupt end to his tenure at the City Ground.
The decision was confirmed by the club’s hierarchy late Saturday, citing a string of poor results and a lack of progress in recent performances as key reasons for the dismissal.
Postecoglou, who took charge earlier this season amid high expectations, struggled to deliver consistent results, leaving Forest hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.
In a brief statement, the club thanked the Australian coach for his service and wished him success in his future endeavors.
Assistant coach Chris Davies is expected to take charge on an interim basis while the club begins the search for a permanent replacement.
The dismissal marks yet another managerial shake-up in the Premier League this season, as Forest look to steady their campaign before the crucial mid-season run of fixtures.
