Ange Postecoglou said his short spell at Nottingham Forest was brutal, describing the way he was dismissed after a home defeat to Chelsea. The Australian said the experience was chaotic and painful, but believes it has made him a stronger manager. Reuters previously reported that Postecoglou was sacked after just 39 days and eight winless matches, making it one of the shortest managerial spells in Premier League history. His latest comments underline how quickly the situation collapsed after he arrived for a survival job.
