Nottingham Forest Back Postecoglou for Chelsea as Dyche Leads Replacement Shortlist

Owner Evangelos Marinakis is weighing replacements after a seven-game winless start that has left Forest near the drop zone.

Overview

  • Postecoglou is expected to remain in the dugout for the Oct. 18 home match against Chelsea after talks during the international break, with results over the next fixtures likely to shape his future.
  • Multiple outlets report that Marinakis has drawn up contingency options, with Sean Dyche viewed as the leading and immediately available candidate.
  • Other names under consideration include Marco Silva and former Forest manager Steve Cooper, while Rafael Benítez has been linked in some reports despite his own discussions elsewhere.
  • Forest have five points from seven Premier League games and sit 17th, one point above the relegation places, after failing to win any of Postecoglou’s first seven matches across competitions.
  • Dyche lives in Nottingham and is out of work after leaving Everton in January, factors cited in reports alongside visible fan unrest during the Midtjylland defeat on Oct. 2.
