Sean Dyche Officially Takes the Helm as Nottingham Forest’s New Head Coach
Nottingham Forest has formally announced Sean Dyche as their new head coach, marking a fresh chapter for the club. The 54-year-old manager arrived at the club’s training ground on Tuesday morning, October 21, 2025, where he met with the board and signed a two-year contract.
Transition Following Postecoglou’s Departure
Dyche’s appointment comes shortly after Nottingham Forest’s heavy 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, which led to the dismissal of Angelos Postecoglou. The Australian coach’s tenure lasted just 39 days, making way for Dyche to take charge and steer the team forward.
Dyche’s Premier League Expertise and Vision for Forest
With extensive experience in the Premier League, including a managerial stint at Everton and a playing career with the club, Sean Dyche is expected to bring stability and a clear tactical identity to Nottingham Forest. His leadership aims to revitalize the squad and establish a competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions.
Dyche is set to make his debut on the Forest bench during the home fixture against Porto on October 23, 2025, at 22:00, a crucial match in the third round of the Europa League group stage.
Official Club Statement
“Nottingham Forest is thrilled to announce Sean Dyche as the new Head Coach following a comprehensive recruitment process led by Global Head of Football Edu Gaspar and Global Technical Director George Syrianos. The former Forest youth player returns to the club with a wealth of experience and a clear vision for success.”
