Sean Dyche sacked by Nottingham Forest after 114 days in charge
Sean Dyche has been sacked by Nottingham Forest after just 114 days in charge – putting the club on course for its fourth manager of the season, reports BritPanorama.
Shortly after midnight on Thursday, Forest confirmed that Dyche had been relieved of his duties as head coach following their 0-0 draw with rock-bottom Wolves. The decision follows a disappointing three-match winless run, which included two draws and a loss, prompting action from the club’s management.
“Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as head coach,” a statement said. “We 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.” No further comments were made by the club regarding the decision.
Club owner Evangelos Marinakis reportedly conducted a personal debriefing with the players in the changing rooms after the match, leading to an atmosphere of heightened tension. Players were restricted from leaving as first-team coaches managed access, reflecting the severity of the situation.
Dyche, 54, was appointed following Ange Postecoglou’s departure in October 2024, which followed a turbulent spell for the team. Under Dyche’s management, the club struggled, managing to secure only two draws and six losses in eight games, which included the recent draw against Wolves and a significant 3-1 defeat to Leeds.
The departure of Dyche exemplifies the instability within the club as it navigates a challenging season in the Premier League, where each managerial change stirs uncertainty among fans and players alike. The club will now seek a successor to guide them through the remainder of the campaign, once more highlighting the fragile nature of football management.
