Nottingham Forest sack Sean Dyche - their third managerial departure this season

Nottingham Forest have sacked head coach Sean Dyche after four months in charge, the Premier League club has announced.

It comes hours after he oversaw a 0-0 draw with bottom side Wolves. He leaves the club sitting 17th in the table, just three points above the relegation zone with 12 games remaining.

"Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as head coach," a statement said.

"We would like to thank Sean and his staff for their efforts during their time at the club and we wish them the best of luck for the future. We will be making no further comment at this time."

It's the third time Forest have sacked their manager this season, following Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou.

It's also the second Premier League managerial sacking of the week, after Spurs dismissed Thomas Frank, and the eighth managerial departure in the English top-flight so far this season.

Forest look set to become the first Premier League club to have four permanent managers in a single campaign.

Dyche took charge in October with Forest third from bottom in the table after a run of one win in eight games during a difficult opening to the season.

Following a promising start to his tenure at the City Ground, the 54-year-old former Burnley and Everton boss found victories hard to come by in recent weeks, with Forest winning just two of their last 10 league fixtures.

In that time, the club also exited the FA Cup at the hands of Championship side Wrexham.

Dyche, a former Forest youth-team player, was in charge for 114 days, during which time he guided the team to the Europa League play-offs, where they will face Turkish side Fenerbahce in the first of a two-legged tie next week.
