"It was not supposed to be this way for Nottingham Forest. One game away from the Champions League in May. Now, in October, they sit in the Premier League relegation zone with a third manager in six weeks. Sean Dyche has replaced Ange Postecoglou on a deal until the summer of 2027, following the Australian's sacking just 17 minutes after Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea - ending his 39-day reign."
"The SOS call to Dyche had already arrived before the weekend, as owner Evangelos Marinakis assessed his options during the international break. The former Everton and Burnley manager, a Nottingham resident and former Forest academy player, has answered as the club look to restore confidence and identity to a season which has already unravelled via self-inflicted wounds. But is Dyche the right man for the job?"
Nottingham Forest sit in the Premier League relegation zone with a third manager in six weeks after a dramatic decline from near-Champions League contention. Sean Dyche was appointed until summer 2027 following Ange Postecoglou's sacking 17 minutes after a 3-0 defeat by Chelsea, ending a 39-day reign. The club seeks to restore organisation and defensive solidity lost since Nuno Espirito Santo's seventh-place season. Centre-backs Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic showed nerves under Postecoglou's open system, goalkeeper Matz Sels has yet to keep a clean sheet, and Elliot Anderson remains a rare consistent performer. Forest spent around £180m on 13 new players.
