Ange Postecoglu is out at Nottingham Forest. The club officially announced it. Perhaps this is why the Australian went off on that that epic rant yesterday? Did he know the proverbial managerial sword of Damacles was dangling above him?
Postecoglu went winless (with six losses and two draws) in his eight games in charge of the Tricky Trees. No one saw this coming. Or I don’t know, maybe we did?
After the shock sacking, and his other sacking by Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last season, one has to wonder if Postecoglu will ever manage in the Premier League again? Most likely not, because this is humiliating. We’ll have more on this in a bit.
