Nottingham Forest sack third manager of Premier League campaign

Nottingham Forest have sacked manager Sean Dyche following the club’s goalless draw with Wolves.

The stalemate with Wolves extended the club’s recent run to one win in five Premier League games. Forest are 17th in the Premier League table and just three points above the relegation places.

In an official club statement, Forest have announced the decision to sack Dyche: “Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as head coach.

“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. We will be making no further comment at this time.”

Dyche is the third permanent manager to have been sacked at the City Ground this season. Nuno Espirito Santo was first to be dismissed in September, before replacement Ange Postecoglou lasted just 39 days.

The Australian’s tenure is the shortest of any permanent manager in Premier League history. Dyche departs after just 114 days in charge as the club’s chaotic management continues. Talks have begun with former Wolves manager Vitor Pereira about the vacant role.
