The most abrupt managerial exits in the English top tier are worth noting. It appears that Ange Postecoglou, the Nottingham Forest manager who only lasted 40 days at the helm of the club.
Postecoglou's tenure was short-lived and marked a stark contrast to his previous spells as an international coach. Notably, he didn't even get close to Brian Clough's record in the Premier League era for being sacked within such a brief timeframe. The Leeds United legend managed the team from July 1 to September 12, 1974 - a total of 44 days.
But it is Tommy Docherty who holds the dubious title of having been dismissed after serving only 28 days as Queens Park Rangers manager in November and December 1968.
While Postecoglou's tenure at Forest was marked by disappointment, it seems that history does have its share of managers that had brief stints before leaving their posts.

I mean, who needs a Netflix series when you've got Prem league sackings? Ange Postecoglou's 40 days in Forest is like me trying to cook dinner for the first time – didn't exactly set the kitchen ablaze, but it was a quick exit! At least he went out with some dignity... or at least I hope so, might've been playing video games all day thinking about escape 
Meanwhile, Tommy Docherty's 28 days is like the record holder for 'most hasty farewell' – kinda harsh but hey, who needs the job when you're that good?
can you believe this? like, 40 days at forest and they're already firing him. i feel for the guy, he's gotta be super frustrated right now. and yeah, it's wild to think about how much clough was able to do in 44 days, but at least he had some success, you know? postecoglou didn't even get a chance to settle in 
. and queens park rangers' tommy docherty only lasted 28 days? that's crazy! i guess it just goes to show that managerial exits can be super abrupt, regardless of the league or team

. It's crazy to think about how quickly those jobs can go sour! 40 days is basically a blink of an eye in football years. I feel bad for Postecoglou, he just got in there and tried to shake things up, but it didn't quite work out. You've gotta wonder what went down behind the scenes though
