Ange's replacement confirmed by Nottingham Forest

Ange Postecoglou's replacement at Nottingham Forest has been confirmed with former Everton manager Sean Dyche to take over as manager.

Dyche becomes the third manager for Forest this season after Postecoglou and Nuno Espirito Santo, both of whom have been removed this season.

Signed until 2027, Dyche beat out Fulham manager Marco Silva, and former Manchester City head coach Roberto Mancini for the role.

Dyche was sacked as Everton manager in January and was a former youth player at Forest, with the club revealing they liked his experience at the club for the role.

“Dyche brings the perfect blend of character, tactical acumen and proven achievement to guide the club through its next chapter," a Nottingham Forest statement read.

"Having managed more than 330 Premier League matches in his career to date, Dyche has built teams defined by defensive organisation, resilience, and strength from set pieces —qualities that align closely with the current squad’s attributes and the club’s footballing identity.

"The former Forest youth player joins the Club on a contract running until the summer of 2027 and will take charge of his first match on Thursday night as The Reds take on FC Porto in the Europa League.

"Dyche will be joined by his experienced coaching team of Ian Woan and Steve Stone — both former Nottingham Forest players who together made more than 400 appearances for the Reds during the 1990s.

"As a former Forest youth player who lives locally, Dyche also has a deep understanding of the values and pride of Forest and its supporters."

Postecoglou was removed from the Nottingham Forest after he failed to secure a win in the first eight games of his tenure.
