Nottingham Forest will be hoping it is third time lucky as new manager Sean Dyche takes over the reins of the two-time European Champions for the visit of Porto in the Europa League on Thursday.For the 54-year-old,

Nottingham Forest fired manager Ange Postecoglou around 20 minutes after a 3-0 loss to Chelsea on Saturday and just 39 days after the Australian took over. Postecoglou didn’t win any of his eight matches in charge after replacing Nuno Espirito Santo on Sept.

Postecoglou only took over at Forest in September, replacing Nuno Espírito Santo after behind-the-scenes tensions saw the popular Portuguese tactician depart the club, but he failed to win any of his seven games in charge before the international break.

New Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche says he is "very pleased and very proud" to return to the club where he came through the youth system as a player. Dyche did not make a first-team appearance but continued to visit the City Ground as a fan throughout his career.

There is no precedent in English football for the sequence of events that led to Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest dismissal 39 days after his appointment.

Nottingham Forest supporters have swarmed social media to react to latest news from the club after the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
