Forest boss Ange Postecoglou sacked after eight games in charge

Nottingham Forest head coach Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by the Premier League club after just eight games in charge of the team.

Postecoglou’s last match ended in a 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea on Saturday, the sixth loss of his short tenure in all competitions.

The Australian was appointed in September following the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo.
