Sky Sports: Dyche has verbally agreed to coach Nottingham Forest and is expected to officially sign on Monday

 4:33pm, 20 October 2025

According to Sky Sports reports, Dyche has reached a verbal agreement with Nottingham Forest to coach.

Nottingham Forest lost 0-3 to Chelsea at home in the last round of the Premier League, and subsequently fired coach Postkoglu and began looking for a new coach. Sky Sports has learned that Dyche has verbally agreed to be the new head coach of Nottingham Forest. Late last Sunday, negotiations made progress. Both parties hope to sign a formal contract quickly so that Dyche can better lead the team to prepare for the Europa League match against Porto on Thursday.

Sky Sports stated that there are still some final legal details that still need to be resolved, and the final document has not been signed yet, but it is possible that Dyche will be officially coached later this Monday. Nottingham Forest has only accumulated 5 points after 8 rounds of Premier League games this season, ranking third from the bottom in the Premier League standings.

Nottingham Forest boss Marinakis has previously considered many new head coach candidates, and he admires Marco Silva very much. But Marco Silva still has a contract with Fulham. Fulham will not let Marco Silva go easily and will definitely demand termination compensation. But Nottingham Forest has fired two coaches this season and needs to pay huge salaries to former coaches Santo and Postkoglu. Now Nottingham Forest is looking for a third coach, so it is financially constrained.

Nottingham Forest boss Marinakis knows that after consecutive coaching changes caused turmoil in the team, the appointment of the next coach is the key to establishing stability and confidence in the locker room and among the fans. The management of Nottingham Forest believes that coach Dyche has the ability to stabilize the team, motivate the players, and help the team achieve good results and achieve the goal of relegation.

Another key requirement of Nottingham Forest owner Marinakis is that whoever becomes the team's new coach must maximize the role of this summer's new signings. Nottingham Forest spent more than 180 million pounds on signings this summer, but 130 million pounds of new signings did not appear in the last round of Nottingham Forest's match against Chelsea. Obviously, Marinakis does not want to see his high investment go to waste,
