English Premier League (EPL) side, Nottingham Forest, has appointed its former youth player, Mr Sean Dyche, has the new Head Coach.
The former manager of Everton Football Club is returning to the City Ground after the sacking of Mr Ange Postecoglou over the weekend just 39 days after he was appointed to lead the team on September 9, 2025.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Tricky Trees said the appointment of the new coach followed “a thorough recruitment process led by Global Head of Football, Edu Gaspar, and Global Technical Director, George Syrianos.”
He is expected to lead the team in the forthcoming matches and others “until the summer of 2027.”
His first match in charge of The Garibaldis is a Europa League match FC Porto on Thursday night at home.
“As a former Forest youth player who lives locally, Sean Dyche also has a deep understanding of the values and pride of Forest and its supporters.
“With his character, tactical acumen and man-management skills, his appointment represents the best opportunity for a successful and competitive season across both domestic and European competitions,” parts of the statement said.
The experienced manager will be joined by former Nottingham Forest players, Ian Woan and Steve Stone, who together made more than 400 appearances for the Reds during the 1990s.
The club said Sean Dyche brings the perfect blend of character, tactical acumen and proven achievement to guide the Club through its next chapter.
Having managed more than 330 Premier League matches in his career to date, he 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.
