According to reports, Nottingham Forest chiefs have decided to ‘sack’ Ange Postecoglou as Evangelos Marinakis made ‘calls’ during the Chelsea loss.
Chelsea compounded Postecoglou’s misery on Saturday afternoon by beating Nottm Forest 3-0 at the City Ground.
Postecoglou was already under immense pressure ahead of this game and a win was needed against Chelsea, but they suffered another poor result.
Saturday’s 3-0 loss means Postecoglou is without a win in eight games across all competitions at Nottm Forest, with six losses and two draws.
Forest were comfortably the better side in the opening 45 minutes against Chelsea, but they failed to take their chances and were punished in the second half.
Goals from Josh Acheampong, Pedro Neto and Reece James settled the game in Chelsea’s favour and Postecoglou is now reportedly set to be sacked.
A respected X account with a ‘team of five elite reporters’ tweeted shortly before the final whistle that owner Marinakis has decided to sack Postecoglou.
They said on X: Exclusive: Ange Postecoglou to get sacked.
‘@NFFC owners making calls as we type this.’
Before the Chelsea game, BBC Sport reporter Sami Mokbel revealed Forest’s search for a new boss ‘developed’ during the international break.
Mokbel has claimed that Fulham boss Marco Silva is their ‘preferred option’ to replace Postecoglou, while Sean Dyche and Steve Cooper have also been ‘considered’.
