Premier League's Nottingham Forest fires head coach Sean Dyche
NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) --- Nottingham Forest has fired Sean Dyche and the
Premier League team is looking for its fourth head coach of the season.
Dyche was fired late Wednesday following a goalless draw with the last-place
Wolves, having been in charge for just 114 days. Forest's failure to convert
any of their numerous chances against Wolves left them three points clear of
the relegation zone.
"Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved
of his duties as head coach," the club said in a statement early Thursday. "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 finished seventh in the Premier League under Nuno Espirito Santo last
season, missing out on a Champions League spot after a poor end to the season.
Nuno signed a three-year deal at the City Ground in June 2025, but was fired in
September after a breakdown in his relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was brought in as the Portuguese coach's
replacement, but lasted only 40 days in the job with Marinakis ending his
tenure within minutes of a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea.
The draw Wednesday left Forest with just two wins from their last 10 matches in
the Premier League --- a run during which they also exited the FA Cup to
Championship side Wrexham.
