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.

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.
