Nottingham Forest are in advanced negotiations to name Sean Dyche as their new manager. Dyche has emerged as the leading candidate to take over at the City Ground following the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou, with the club aiming to finalise an agreement by Monday.

Unlike Ange Postecoglou's appointment, Sean Dyche's arrival at Nottingham Forest makes sense as his side's style of play has historically been more tactically in tune with the brand Nuno Espirito Santo employed to bring European football back to the City Ground.

Football rarely pauses for breath and Nottingham Forest have proved as much by moving quickly after ... Evangelos Marinakis has already held talks with former Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche about taking charge at the City Ground.
