Nottingham Forest Sack Sean Dyche as Reports Link Vítor Pereira to Vacant Job

Pressure intensifies as Forest sit three points above the drop with 12 games left.

Overview

  • Dyche was dismissed hours after a 0-0 home draw with last-place Wolves, a match in which Forest registered about 35 shots without scoring.
  • His tenure lasted 114 days and 25 games, following earlier in-season exits of Nuno Espírito Santo and Ange Postecoglou.
  • Forest are seeking a fourth permanent head coach this season, which would be a Premier League first if confirmed.
  • Multiple reports say former Wolves manager Vítor Pereira is the leading candidate, with talks advancing and a deal believed to be close; he previously worked under owner Evangelos Marinakis at Olympiacos.
  • Forest remain 17th, three points clear of the relegation zone, and their schedule now includes a Europa League play-off first leg at Fenerbahçe next week.
