The season is not too evolved to be saved and he knows as well as anyone it's the opportunity of a lifetime — just one that neither he, nor us, expected to present itself. Good luck, Sean.

Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks to appoint Sean Dyche as Ange Postecoglou's successor, sources have told ESPN.

The 54-year-old replaces Ange Postecoglou at the City Ground, who was sacked after just eight games on Saturday.

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as their new manager on a two-year deal - and why Evangelos Marinakis has plumped for the former Everton gaffer over two other top candidates has been revealed.

Dyche did not make a first-team appearance but continued to visit the City Ground as a fan throughout his career. "Down the years, I've spoken openly about my affection for the beginning of my career at Nottingham Forest under the great Brian Clough," he told BBC Radio Nottingham.

Sorensen went with a strong line-up as he looked for a first win on home soil, although top scorer Ornella Vignola dropped to the bench as Gago spearheaded a front three flanked by Katie Robinson and Yuka Momiki.

Matt Le Tissier has exclusively told Football Insider that the blame for Nottingham Forest's current predicament is on owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Postecoglou was sacked by Nottingham Forest after the East Midlands side’s 3-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday. His dismissal came after just eight matches with the Australian having failed to guide Forest to a single win, with his 39-day tenure also the shortest of any permanent manager in Premier League history.
