Premier League boss sacked minutes after latest loss, ending brief and winless tenure with Nottingham Forest

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Premier League manager was sacked just around 20 minutes after his team’s latest loss, marking a brief and winless tenure in charge.
Nottingham Forest took to social media about 20 minutes after Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Chelsea to announce that the soccer club was moving on from manager Ange Postecoglou after just 39 days at the helm.

“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,” the statement read.
“The Club will make no further comment at this time.”
Forest went winless through eight games under the Australian boss, who only just replaced Nuno Espirito Santo on Sept. 9.

Postecoglou’s tumultuous tenure followed another exit from a different English soccer club in June, when he was fired by Tottenham despite ending the club’s 17-year trophy drought with a win in the Europa League final over Manchester United.
Poor results, including a 17th-place finish in the Premier League – Tottenham’s lowest since the competition was founded in 1992 – paved the way for that decision.

According to ESPN, Postecoglou’s 39 days with the club is the second shortest in Premier League history.

Prep talk: Maggie Kearin shows how to get a sports scholarship via club experience

It’s confusing enough that senior Maggie Kearin attends Louisville High in Woodland Hills and will soon attend the University of Louisville in Kentucky on a full scholarship.
Let’s forget about the two Louisvilles for a moment. Did you know she has a scholarship awaiting her based on her skills in field hockey? And the high school she attends doesn’t have a field hockey team.
She earned the offer based on her play in club field hockey. At Louisville High, she’s perfectly happy playing volleyball and soccer when outsiders have no idea she’s one of the top field hockey players in Southern California.
Her father is Jeff Kearin, the former Loyola High and Cal State Northridge football coach who’s the JV football coach at Crespi and has been transporting her for years to competitions. He consulted with others about whether Maggie should go to a high school that has field hockey, and they told him being good in several sports will help her versatility in field hockey.
Maggie has been playing the sport since she was 5.
“She came home one night from a sleepover, ‘I want to play the game with a stick.’ I thought it was lacrosse,” her father said.
Now she has a way to pay for her college education. “No one is happier than Mom and Dad,” her father said.
This is a daily look at the positive happenings in high school sports. To submit any news, please email eric.sondheimer@latimes.com.

Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James’ approach to critics: ‘You ever see [him] go at a White boy?’
![Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James’ approach to critics: ‘You ever see [him] go at a White boy?’ Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James’ approach to critics: ‘You ever see [him] go at a White boy?’](https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/10/stephen-a-smith-lebron-james.jpg)
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith suggested LeBron James’ treatment of certain people may be influenced by their race.
Smith, in an interview on “The Pivot Podcast” with Ryan Clark, addressed his recent interactions with James and appeared to reference an incident when James confronted Smith at a Lakers’ game in March.
“You ever see LeBron go at a White boy? Let’s call it what it is. You ever see him do that? You’ll say you saw him come at me,” Smith said.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith had some interesting commentary about NBA star LeBron James. (Imagn)
Smith appeared to be addressing the incident and Smith’s past criticism of James’ Lakers’ handling of the superstar’s son, Bronny James.
“Anybody with professional ethics, who knows sports and knows what comes with it knows that I did not do anything wrong to that young man. But to paint me as somebody that would attack a child, just because I dislike you, it’s low, it’s low,” Smith said.

After a Los Angeles Lakers game against the New York Knicks in March, Smith revealed the incident stemmed from his televised criticisms of Bronny.
“That wasn’t a basketball player confronting me. That was a parent. That was a father,” Smith said on ESPN. “I can’t sit here and be angry or feel slighted by LeBron James in that regard. By all accounts, he’s obviously a wonderful family man and father who cares very, very deeply about his son.

James pushed back against that notion in an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN later that month.
“Never would I ever not allow people to talk about the sport, criticize players about what they do on the court. That is your job — to criticize or be in a position where, OK, a guy is not performing … that is all part of the game. When you take it and when you get personal with it, it’s my job to not only protect my damn household but protect the players,” James said.
