"Nottingham Forest have sounded out Sean Dyche and Roberto Mancini regarding their vacancy, after sacking head coach Ange Postecoglou. Evangelos Marinakis, the Forest owner, made the call to sack Postecoglou just 40 days into the job during the club's 3-0 home defeat by Chelsea. The Greek billionaire was in attendance at the City Ground but left his seat in the directors' box and subsequently the stadium soon after the hour, at which point Forest trailed 2-0."
"Postecoglou's departure after eight games means his spell in charge is the shortest in Premier League history, one day fewer than Les Reed managed at Charlton Athletic. The 60-year-old said his goodbyes to players in the Forest dressing room before leaving the City Ground on Saturday, posing for photographs with supporters upon his departure. Mancini and Dyche are both out of work, while Marinakis is a longstanding admirer of Marco Silva, the Fulham manager whom he previously appointed at Olympiakos, the other major player in his stable of clubs."
"Silva's Fulham contract, which expires at the end of the season, is thought to contain a buyout clause of about 8m. Forest are willing to pay compensation for a manager but are mindful of profitability and sustainability regulations after sacking a second manager in two months, plus a summer spend of about 200m on 13 new players."
Nottingham Forest dismissed head coach Ange Postecoglou 40 days into his tenure after a 3-0 home defeat by Chelsea. Owner Evangelos Marinakis initiated the sacking during the match and a senior official informed Postecoglou. Supporter unrest followed a humiliating Europa League defeat to Midtjylland and contributed to the decision. Postecoglou's eight-game spell became the shortest in Premier League history. Forest have begun assessing successors and have sounded out Sean Dyche and Roberto Mancini. Marinakis admires Marco Silva, whose Fulham contract reportedly contains a buyout clause of about 8m. The club will consider profitability and sustainability rules after heavy summer spending.
