Nottingham Forest sack Sean Dyche after Wolves draw

Nottingham Forest have sacked manager Sean Dyche after a dismal home draw with Wolves left them hovering three points above the Premier League relegation zone.

Forest announced this via a statement issued in the early hours of Thursday.

The club stated: “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.”

Forest are now looking for a fourth manager this season following Dyche’s dismissal after less than four months in charge.

Forest’s 0-0 draw with bottom club Wolves on Wednesday night left them in severe relegation danger and Dyche’s team were booed off at the final whistle at the City Ground.

Speaking after Wednesday’s stalemate, a gloomy Dyche acknowledged his job was in peril, and that volatile owner Evangelos Marinakis could well decide to swing the axe.

Marinakis has already sacked Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou this season, and his patience once again wore thin after Forest drew a blank despite having 35 shots.

Forest thrived under Nuno last season, securing a place in the Europa League, but the Portuguese coach was dismissed after falling out with Marinakis over transfers.

Postecoglou’s reign was short-lived, gone after just 39 days. Dyche hardly fared much better, lasting just 114 days.

Forest travel to Turkey to play Fenerbahce in the Europa League on February 19, before facing Liverpool at home three days later.
