‘The season is now an embarrassment for Forest’published at 09:45 GMT<\/p>\n

Nuno was sacked 23 days into the season.<\/p>\n

His replacement Postecoglou lasted 39 days.<\/p>\n

Dyche at least made it past the 100-day mark, but his reign ends after 114.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest are now remarkably searching for a fourth manager of a season which has lurched from crisis to crisis.<\/p>\n

Forest’s problems are of their own making after Nuno fell out with global sporting director Edu and owner Marinakis to make his position untenable.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou was an ill-advised appointment, a clash of styles going from Nuno’s counter-attack to the Australian’s high-pressing, high-action game.<\/p>\n

Dyche was supposed to be the safe pair of hands, reverting back to what the squad knew under Nuno, and his connection with the club – having come through the academy – initially made it a sweet homecoming.<\/p>\n

Seven wins from his first 12 stabilised the club and season to a point, with Forest mid-table in the league if results since Dyche was appointed in October were only taken into account.<\/p>\n

But just two wins in their past 10 league games – plus an FA Cup exit to Wrexham last month – saw a rapid loss of faith from both the board and the fans.<\/p>\n

The season is now an embarrassment for Forest. It was not supposed to be like this, with European football returning to the City Ground for the first time since 1995-96.<\/p>\n

But after two failed appointments and the decision to sack Nuno after a breakdown in relationships Forest are in tatters.<\/p>\n

They finished seventh last season and spent \u00a3180m but relegation is a very real possibility in a season where the club, especially Postecoglou, had targeted winning the Europa League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘The season is now an embarrassment for Forest’published at 09:45 GMT 09:45 GMT Nick MashiterBBC Sport football news…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-464141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
