Nottingham Forest fires manager Ange Postecoglou minutes after 3-0 loss to Chelsea

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Nottingham Forest fired manager Ange Postecoglou minutes after a 3-0 loss to Chelsea on Saturday.

Postecoglou didn’t win any of his eight matches in charge after replacing Nuno Espirito Santo on Sept. 9.

It was his first job since being fired by Tottenham at the end of last season, despite leading Spurs to the Europa League title to break its 17-year trophy drought.

Forest has now lost six and drawn the other two of its eight games under Postecoglou. That includes four losses from five in the league, scoring just one goal in the process, to leave Forest hovering just above the bottom three.
