Nottingham Forest’s third (!) managerial casualty of the season was confirmed in the early hours of Thursday morning as they parted ways with Sean Dyche.
The dismissal comes in the wake of Forest’s goalless draw with bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers last night.
The Tricky Trees also lost to relegation rivals Leeds United on Friday.
A statement from the Nottingham Forest website said:
“Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as head coach.
“We would like to thank Sean and his staff for their efforts during their time at the Club and we wish them every success for the future. We will have no further comment at this time.”
Dyche is the third manager Forest have sacked this season, after Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou.
He lasted just 114 days in the role and leaves the club three points above the relegation zone.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR FORESTS IN FPL?
Forest now have a seven-day break before their next match: a UEFA Europa League play-off with Fenerbahce next Thursday.
There will be some tough matches in the Premier League, including Liverpool and Manchester City in the next three matchweeks.
There is also a trip to Tottenham Hotspur shortly afterwards, after which they will also have a new manager in charge.
The Tricky Trees are therefore in 17th place Season ticker over the next six Gameweeks, so there won’t be many candidates for Forest players right away.
BOOKIES’ FAVORITES FOR NEXT FOREST MANAGER
Initial reports indicate that the club is already in talks with former Wolves boss Vitor Pereira.
He was of course previously employed by forest owner Evangelos Marinakis in Olympiacos.
Several other names, including Thomas Frank, who was sacked by Spurs earlier this week, Roberto De Zerbi and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, have also been linked with the vacancy.
