Nottingham Forest Appoint Sean Dyche as Head Coach Until 2027

Nottingham Forest have appointed Sean Dyche as their new head coach on a contract running until June 2027.

The 54-year-old Englishman, who began his playing career as a youth player at the club, returns to the City Ground to take charge following the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou, who lasted just 39 days in the role.

Dyche Returns Home

Dyche’s appointment comes after Forest’s unsuccessful attempts to secure former Italy boss Roberto Mancini and Marco Silva, who opted to remain at Fulham.

The club confirmed that Dyche officially arrived at the training ground on Monday, where he met the squad alongside his trusted assistants Ian Woan and Steve Stone — both former Forest players.

Immediate Challenge

The former Burnley and Everton manager faces an immediate challenge as he looks to steady a Forest side struggling near the Premier League relegation zone. His first task will be preparing the team for Thursday’s Europa League clash against FC Porto at the City Ground.

Dyche is known for his disciplined defensive setups and pragmatic style, which the club hopes will bring stability and improved performances after a turbulent start to the season.
