Nottingham Forest confirmed the dismissal of Sean Dyche in the early hours of Thursday after a goalless draw with rock-bottom Wolves. The match was notable for Forest attempting 35 shots without scoring, described in the report as the most recorded by any Premier League side without scoring since 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cNottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as head coach,\u201d the club said in a short statement issued three hours after kick off, half an hour after midnight U.K. time. \u201cWe would like to thank Sean and his staff for their efforts during their time at the club and we wish them the best of luck for the future. We will be making no further comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s search for a replacement is already under way. The appointment would represent Forest\u2019s fourth permanent manager of the 2025\u201326 campaign. The season began under Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo, who led Forest to a 3\u20131 opening-weekend win over Brentford and covered the first three matches before leaving in September following a strained relationship with club owner Evangelos Marinakis.<\/p>\n
Ange Postecoglou followed, but his spell was brief. He lost his debut to Arsenal and, across eight matches in charge, lost six and drew two. His tenure of 39 days is noted as the second-shortest managerial reign in Premier League history. Sean Dyche remained almost four months and, during his time at the club, racked up 22 points in 18 Premier League games, a record described as the 12th-best in the division. He departed with Forest in 17th, three points above a resurgent West Ham United inside the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
A simple manager summary included in the report lists Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo with three 2025\u201326 games and one win, Ange Postecoglou with eight matches and no wins, and Sean Dyche with 25 games and 10 wins.<\/p>\n
Forest have reportedly opened talks with former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Vitor Pereira, who is thought to be a \u201cstrong candidate,\u201d as first reported by The Athletic. Pereira steered Wolves clear of the drop last season and became known to supporters for going to local pubs after victories. \u201cFirst the points, then the points\u201d became Pereira\u2019s catchphrase. He left Wolves in November after failing to win any of his first 10 matches in charge and has been out of work since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
