If you are to imagine the most characteristic English coach in the top division, you immediately get the picture of Sean Dyche. Not only does the hardhead look like an English brewshoer, he plays good, traditional bone football, where the goal is not to lose games. Nice play, it comes as a bonus. We saw it at Burnley, we saw it at Everton. Now it’s up to the Nottingham Forest players to get acquainted with Dyche football.
Sean Dyche is back. The Englishman is known for being brought in when players have lost their courage and confidence. Then it’s time for a humming, proto-Englishman to take over the job. For Nottingham Forest, it’s now about surviving in the Premier League and not “shitting” their way out in Europe.
Ange Postecolgou was sacked after eight games, on Tuesday Forest announced they have brought in fire extinguisher and “no-bullshit” Dyche to the City Ground.
The contract runs until 2027, but we know Forest owner Marinakis does not particularly care about the length of the contracts. They can be bought out after eight games.
On Thursday, the debut awaits Dyche. At home, the Englishman will lead Forest to victory against Porto in the Europa League. We think the Portuguese will get to feel in their bodies that it is now cynical and tough Dyche football that counts.
