Sean Dyche is officially Nottingham Forest manager having signed a contract until the summer of 2027.

October 20, 2025 Sean Dyche to be next Nottingham Forest manager after Ange Postecoglou sacked
Ange Postecoglou's time at Nottingham Forest is over after just 39 days but that does not mean the problems have gone away. Forest owner Evanglelos Marinakis is in the process of choosing the next manager and it's one he can't afford to get wrong with Sean Dyche poised to be announced on Monday. Fulham manager Marco Silva was also a target and former Italy and Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini had also been heavily touted, however, Fabrizio Romano says he is no longer in the running.
Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple, Pete Blackburn and former Reds defender James Perch to react to Postecoglou's exit and the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, plus look at what comes next. #nffc #nottinghamforest

October 18, 2025 Ange Postecoglou sacked! | Roberto Mancini or Sean Dyche next at Nottingham Forest?
Ange Postecoglou has been unceremoniously sacked 20 minutes after Nottingham Forest were beaten 3-0 by Chelsea, ending a shambolic stint as manager after eight winless games.
Matt Davies is joined by Dan Cook, Paul Morley and Adam Summerton from TNT Sports to react to the news, the timing of the decision from Evangelos Marinakis, what next and who is to blame as Forest reportedly look to bring in either Sean Dyche or former Manchester City and Italy manager Roberto Mancini. #nffc #nottinghamforest

October 16, 2025 Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea match preview | Can Ange finally get a win?

October 15, 2025 Should we give Ange Postecoglou another chance at Nottingham Forest?
Ange Postecoglou has been written off as Nottingham Forest manager by fans and guests on Forest Focus. With an international break winding down and Sean Dyche touted a successor, do we all have to give one more shot to get it right, starting with the Premier League game against Chelsea? If any podcast regulars are going to back him it's Greg Mitchell and Emily Williamson. Matt Davies gets their takes to see if they agree on Postecoglou (they don't).
We also discuss the decline in supporter morale and ticket sales as the Porto game in the Europa League goes to general sale. We ask if it is a mistake to want to a 45,000 capacity City Ground. #nffc #nottinghamforest
