Nottingham Forest have officially announced the dismissal of manager Sean Dyche, bringing his tenure at the club to an end after just 17 matches in charge in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest made the announcement of Sean Dyche’s leaving the club on his official website in the early hours of Thursday, February 12, 2026. This decision was taken less than 24 hours after Tottenham Hotspur confirmed the sacking of Thomas Frank at the North London club.
Dyche is the third manager Forest have sacked this season after Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou the latter himself only lasting 39 days in charge at the City Ground.
They decided to let Dyche go after a three-game winless run in the Premier League which included draws against Crystal Palace and Wolves, as well as a damaging 3-1 loss to relegation rivals Leeds last Friday.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is understood to be frustrated with the club’s inability to make the most of the attacking talent available at the club, as well as the inability to move away from the relegation places.
Dyche leaves Forest three points above the relegation zone with 12 games of the season remaining.
