"That nomination came on the back of league wins over Brentford and struggling West Ham United, defeat by third-placed Aston Villa and a point at home to leaders Arsenal. Throw in an FA Cup exit on penalties at the hands of Championship side Wrexham, a Europa League defeat by Sporting Braga, followed by a thumping win over Ferencvaros to secure a knockout phase play-off, and Forest's form since the turn of the year has been the definition of a mixed bag."
"The Englishman departs the City Ground having won six of those games, collecting more league points - 22 - in the same number of games than Forest's two previous managers combined. That win rate of 33.3% is the best of Dyche's top-flight managerial career, surpassing the 27.9% he recorded at Burnley and the 28% achieved at Everton. By the same measure, the Englishman sits a respectable third out of Forest's eight permanent Premier League managers."
Sean Dyche was dismissed as Nottingham Forest head coach after four months following defeats to Leeds and Wolves that prompted owner Evangelos Marinakis to act. Dyche recorded mixed results including league wins over Brentford and West Ham, a draw at Arsenal, a loss to Aston Villa, an FA Cup exit to Wrexham on penalties, a Europa League defeat by Sporting Braga, and a win over Ferencvaros to reach the knockout play-off. Forest collected 22 league points in Dyche's 18 matches with six wins and a 33.3% win rate, the best of his top-flight career. The team sits 17th, one place higher than when he arrived, but continues to struggle for goals and home victories.
