Sean Dyche Appointed Nottingham Forest Head Coach

Nottingham Forest have appointed Sean Dyche as head coach on a contract running until the summer of 2027. He replaces Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked after 39 days and eight winless matches, and becomes Forest’s third manager this season following the earlier dismissal of Nuno Espírito Santo. Dyche, 54, a former Forest youth player and ex-Burnley and Everton manager, is noted for defensive organisation and a track record of keeping teams clear of relegation. He will be joined by long-term allies Ian Woan and Steve Stone and is scheduled to be in the dugout for Forest’s Europa League home game with Porto on Thursday ahead of a Premier League trip to Bournemouth. The recruitment process was led by global head of football Edu Gaspar and global technical director George Syrianos, and Forest sit 18th with one win from eight league games, presenting an immediate survival task Dyche’s appointment is intended to address.
