Nottingham Forest have officially confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as the club’s new head coach, following a disappointing start to the 2025/26 Premier League season that led to the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou.

Dyche, renowned for his pragmatic style and no-nonsense football philosophy, has signed a deal until the end of the current campaign — with an option to extend. The 54-year-old previously managed Everton and Burnley, where he built a reputation for turning underperforming squads into tough, tactically disciplined units capable of grinding out results.

This move marks a significant shift in direction for Forest, who find themselves struggling for form and identity in the early stages of the season. Dyche’s arrival is seen as an attempt to bring structure, resilience, and clarity to a side that has underdelivered so far.
