Nottingham Forest owner sets new record with 39 days sacking | OneFootball

The Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis sacked Nuno Espirito Santo on 9 September 2025 after the manager had picked up four points from the first three Premier League matches of the season, then the same day announced Ange Postecoglou as his replacement.

Only 39 days later, Evangelos Marinakis setting a new Premier League record.

On Saturday announcing with the briefest of statements (see below) that Ange Postecoglou had been sacked after picking up one point from five Premier League matches.

Postecoglou sacked only minutes after the 3-0 home loss to Chelsea, after watching his players dominate the first half and should have had the game won by the break, instead Forest came out and quickly conceded four minutes later and the writing was on the wall.

Rumours in the lead up to Saturday’s game that the Forest owner had already been sounding out replacements.

Maybe Marinakis can soon set a new new Premier League record.

The 39 days that Ange Postecoglou is the least amount of time a permanent appointment Premier League manager has lasted.

Already set to be on their third manager of the season with only eight Premier League games gone, it makes you wonder just how long the new one can last if results don’t improve…?

Nottingham Forest official statement – 18 October 2025:

‘Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that after a series of disappointing results and performances, Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties as head coach with immediate effect.
