English Premier League side Nottingham Forest unveiled Sean Dyche as their new manager on Tuesday after sacking Ange Postecoglou only 39 days into his tenure.
"The former Forest youth player joins the club on a contract running until the summer of 2027 and will take charge of his first match on Thursday night as the Reds take on FC Porto in the Europa League," Forest said in a statement.
Postecoglou was removed barely 20 minutes after their 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea on Saturday that left them 18th in the league standings with five points from eight matches.

"As a former Forest youth player who lives locally, Dyche also has a deep understanding of the values and pride of Forest and its supporters.
"Dyche will be joined by his experienced coaching team of Ian Woan and Steve Stone, both former Nottingham Forest players who together made more than 400 appearances for the Reds during the 1990s," Forest added.
