A goalless draw at home against Wolves proved to be the final straw for the Forest board, who have relieved Sean Dyche of his duties as boss.
The decision came less than a week after Forest’s 3-1 defeat to Leeds at Elland Road and was made with the club hovering precariously above the Premier League relegation zone.
Forest are the second Premier League club to wield the axe in as many days, following in the footsteps of Tottenham Hotspur following their removal of Thomas Frank from his post.
A statement issued by Forest read: “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 the best of luck for the future. We will be making no further comment at this time.”
Here are the early Betfair favourites to succeed Dyche at the City Ground - with some familiar faces featured.
