Nottingham Forest appoint former youth player Sean Dyche as Head Coach

Following the shock dismissal of Ange Postecoglou, Nottingham Forest have appointed Sean Dyche as its new head coach.

The former Burnley and Everton head coach comes into a rocky situation at Forest as Nottingham have already sacked two head coaches even before the half way mark in the 2025-2026 season.

Nuno Espirito Santo and Postecoglou were dismissed from their roles prior to the appointment of Dyche with Postecoglou’s dismissal coming just 39 days after his appointment.

Dyche is a former Forest youth player and earned the nickname “Ginger Mourinho” for his pragmatic style during his long stint at Burnley.

“With his character, tactical acumen and man-management skills, his appointment represents the best opportunity for a successful and competitive season across both domestic and European competitions” a section of the statement of Dyche’s appointment from Nottingham stated.

Forest rank 18^th in the English Premier League standings after picking five losses, two draws and a win in eight games.

Nottingham take on Bournemouth on Sunday, October 26.
