Next Nottingham Forest Manager: Dyche 4/5 for job after Postecoglou sacked after 39 days | OneFootball

English Premier League

Sean Dyche is the early favourite for the Nottm Forest job

Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Nottingham Forest meaning he has the unwanted record of being the manager with the shortest reign in the Premier League, and it's a familiar name that is the early favourite to replace him...

Dyche favourite as record-breaker Ange gets the boot

Sean Dyche is the 4/5 to be the Next Permanent Nottingham Forest Manager after Ange Postecoglou was sacked immediately after his team's 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

Dyche, who was heavily linked with the Forest job during the international break should Postecoglou be sacked, has previously managed Burnley ad Everton in the Premier League and is said to be keen to return to management.

Postecoglou's dismissal comes just 39 days after he was appointed Forest manager, and it means his stint at the City Ground is the shortest managerial reign in Premier League history.

In a statement released immediately after today's defeat, the club said, "Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that after a series of disappointing results and performances, Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties as head coach with immediate effect."

Postecoglou managed just five games in the Premier League with Forest, losing to Arsenal, Sunderland, Newcastle and Chelsea and drawing 1-1 at newly-promoted Burnley.

Silva second fav but could Mourinho return?

Fulham boss Marco Silva is a surprising early second favourite for the job. Silva is well liked at Craven Cottage and despite a relatively slow start to the new season it is not thought that he is under any pressure currently, so there are questions as to whether he'd swap his current club for one in and around the relegation zone.
