"Sean Dyche is vying with former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini to replace Ange Postecoglou at Nottingham Forest, sources have told ESPN, with Mancini being considered by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis as an alternative to the former Burnley and Everton manager."
"Forest are searching for their third manager of the season after the club announced Postecoglou's sacking just 19 minutes after the team's 3-0 home defeat against Chelsea on Saturday. The former Tottenham, Celtic and Australia coach had been in his post for just 39 days, taking charge of eight games without a win, since replacing Nuno Espírito Santo last month."
"Mancini, 60, has not worked in English football since being fired by City in May 2013 -- 12 months after guiding the club to its first league title in 44 years -- after falling out with a number of senior players at the Etihad. Mancini has since coached Galatasaray, Inter Milan and Zenit St Petersburg, but has not been involved in the club game since 2018, when he started a five-year stint as Italy coach, during which he led the Azzurri to the Euro 2020 title. He has been out of work since leaving his post as Saudi Arabia coach in October 2024."
Nottingham Forest have sacked Ange Postecoglou after 39 days in charge and eight games without a win, announcing the decision 19 minutes after a 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea. The club are seeking their third manager of the season. Sean Dyche is the favoured candidate and has held discussions; his connections to the club date to his time as a youth player and he was dismissed by Everton last season. Owner Evangelos Marinakis is also assessing former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini as an alternative. Mancini has managed several European clubs, led Italy to the Euro 2020 title, and left his Saudi Arabia post in October 2024.
