Sean Dyche to replace Postecoglou as Nottingham Forest manager
Nottingham Forest are set to appoint former Everton boss Sean Dyche as their new manager following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, according to Sky Sports.
Dyche has reportedly verbally agreed to take over at the club, with an official announcement expected before Forest’s crucial Europa League clash against Porto on Thursday.

The 54-year-old English manager has emerged as the standout candidate after Forest dismissed Postecoglou after their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday, a result that left the club 18th in the Premier League with just one win from eight games.
Dyche has held positive talks with Forest officials over the past 24 hours, and sources close to the negotiations say his chances of landing the role have significantly improved over the weekend.

Other names linked with the position include Roberto Mancini and Marco Silva, but both are believed to be out of the running, Mancini’s early discussions reportedly cooled, while Silva’s situation is complicated by a large release clause and his ongoing commitment to Fulham.
Forest’s hierarchy are keen to finalise Dyche’s appointment swiftly as they look to stabilise a turbulent season that has already seen two managers, Nuno Espírito Santo and Postecoglou, sacked in quick succession.
