"The former Everton manager is poised to replace Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked after 40 days in charge. Evangelos Marinakis wanted to reunite with Marco Silva, with whom he had worked at Olympiakos, but Silva's reluctance to leave Fulham during the season and his 13m release clause made the move difficult. The former Manchester City head coach Roberto Mancini was also under consideration and was spoken to by Forest but Dyche became the focus."
"Dyche has been out of work since being sacked by Everton in January, where he was in charge for two years. His availability and the absence of compensation make the completion of a deal smoother. Forest are keen for Dyche to be in the dugout for Thursday's visit of Porto in the Europa League. The 54-year-old was a youth player at Forest but never made a first-team appearance for the club."
Nottingham Forest are close to appointing Sean Dyche as their third head coach this season, with the former Everton manager set to replace Ange Postecoglou after 40 days in charge. Club owner Evangelos Marinakis explored reuniting with Marco Silva and spoke to Roberto Mancini, but Silva's reluctance to leave Fulham and his 13m release clause complicated matters and Dyche became the focus. Dyche's availability and the absence of compensation eased negotiations. Forest want him in the dugout for Thursday's Europa League visit by Porto. The club sit 18th with five points from eight games and face a relegation battle.
