Overview

• Sean Dyche has a verbal agreement to take over at Forest with final legal details and paperwork still to be completed, and confirmation could come later on Monday, according to Sky Sports.
• Forest want Dyche in place for Thursday’s Europa League home match against Porto as they move quickly to stabilise the team.
• Ange Postecoglou was dismissed minutes after Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, leaving Forest 18th in the Premier League with five points from eight games and no wins under his tenure.
• Owner Evangelos Marinakis considered Roberto Mancini and admired Fulham’s Marco Silva, but PSR constraints and compensation costs made a move for Silva difficult.
