Close<\/a>\u2022\u00a0Joined ESPN in 2011 Nottingham Forest<\/a> have appointed Sean Dyche as their third manager of the season on a contract through to 2027 following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, the club has announced.<\/a><\/p>\n Postecoglou was sacked<\/a> minutes after Saturday’s 3-0<\/a> defeat to Chelsea<\/a>, with no wins from his eight matches in charge of the Premier League<\/a> club.<\/p>\n He had been in the role just 39 days.<\/a><\/p>\n Postecoglou had replaced Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo<\/a>, who left Forest in September. Dyche now becomes the latest manager to take on the Forest hot seat.<\/p>\n Sources told ESPN that Forest also weighed up ex-Italy<\/a> manager Roberto Mancini as an option to replace Postecoglou while owner Evangelos Marinakis is also an admirer of Fulham<\/a> manager Marco Silva.<\/p>\n However, Forest would have needed to foot a hefty compensation fee for Silva while Dyche was out of work and available.<\/p>\n – Postecoglou’s Forest stint was short, but not Premier League’s shortest<\/a> “Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the appointment of Sean Dyche as the club’s new head coach, following a thorough recruitment process led by Global Head of Football, Edu Gaspar, and Global Technical Director, George Syrianos,” the club said in a statement.<\/p>\n “The former Forest youth player joins the club on a contract running until the summer of 2027 and will take charge of his first match on Thursday night as the Reds take on FC Porto in the Europa League.<\/p>\n “As a former Forest youth player who lives locally, Dyche also has a deep understanding of the values and pride of Forest and its supporters. 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.”<\/p>\n Dyche has previously managed Watford, Burnley<\/a> and Everton<\/a>, having left them in January 2025.<\/p>\n He knows the club well and is expected to bring ex-Forest players and long-time assistants Ian Woan and Steve Stone with him to the City Ground.<\/p>\n Forest are 18th in the table and are also competing for the Europa League, having finished seventh last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom HamiltonOct 21, 2025, 07:12 PM Close\u2022\u00a0Joined ESPN in 2011\u2022\u00a0Covered two Olympics, a pair of Rugby World Cups…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-229997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
