Sean Dyche has been appointed as Nottingham Forest’s new head coach until 2027, the Premier League outfit announced on Tuesday.
Ange Postecoglou was fired on Saturday after only 40 days in charge of the City Ground, and the 54-year-old former Burnley and Everton boss has assumed his place.
In his first season as Everton manager since leaving at the start of this year, Dyche, a Forest trainee under renowned manager Brian Clough, becomes the club’s third manager.
Roberto Mancini, a former manager of Fulham and Italy, reportedly spoke with Forest about the position, and Marco Silva, a former manager of Fulham, also mentioned.
However, Forest chose Dyche as their successor, according to a statement from the organization that Dyche brings the ideal combination of character, tactical acumen, and proven accomplishments to lead the team to its next chapter.
Dyche’s opening Premier League game will be against Bournemouth on Sunday, followed by his Europa League clash against Porto on Thursday.
Ian Woan and Steve Stone will serve as his coaches, along with two other former Forest players.
Postecoglou became the shortest-serving permanent manager in Premier League history after being fired just minutes after Chelsea’s 3-0 loss.
After losing eight of his first eight games, former Spurs manager Evangelos Marinakis was fired.
Nuno Espirito Santo, who was himself fired in September after his relationship with Marinakis ended, was replaced by Postecoglou.
Despite having a squad that received over £100 million ($134 million) of investment during the transfer window, Forest are currently fifth in the Premier League relegation zone with just five points after eight games.
