Nottingham Forest loses to Chelsea again, Postkoglu becomes the shortest-lived head coach at 39 days

Postkoglu was dismissed and fired after only 39 days in charge of Nottingham Forest. It turns out that there were other head coaches in the Premier League who were more "short-lived" than Postkoglu.

Speaking of Sam Allardyce (Cantonese translation name: Enardes), there were only 30 days from his tenure to his dismissal. It is said that in 2023, Allardyce, who was known as a relegation expert at the time, took over from Garcia as the head coach of Leeds United in May, in order to lead Leeds United to successfully escape relegation in the only four remaining league rounds. It is a pity that Allardyce failed to improve Leeds United's goal-losing defense. In the last four rounds of the league, they only achieved 1 draw and 3 losses. The team finally ranked second from the bottom in the standings and was relegated. It was regrettable that they had to return to the British Championship after 3 years. In the end, "Big Sam" Allardyce also announced that he would leave after being relegated at the end of the season.

When Allardyce left office, he said with a helpless expression, "This reflects Leeds United's performance this season. They conceded more goals than any other team. Even if they score, they cannot stop conceding goals, which prevents the team from scoring points."

However, "Big Sam" Allardyce was in charge as the acting head coach. If the contracted "long-term workers" are counted as the official head coach, Postkoglu is really the most "short-lived" head coach.
