Nottingham Forest have changed coaches twice this season. The third person to take the helm of Nottingham after Nunu Espiritu Santo and Enze Postecoglou is coach Sean Dyche.

Nottingham announced on its official website on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) that it is pleased to announce the appointment of Sean Dyche as its new head coach after a thorough process of appointing him as head coach led by global football general Edu Gaspar and global technical director George Sirianos.

Daichi is from Nottingham Youth. It's like coming back to your hometown. He began his leadership career as manager of Watford U18. Since then, he has also served as manager of Watford's senior team. After that, he was the Burnley manager for 10 years from October 2012 to April 2022. Until recently, he led Everton. Retired from Everton last January.

Daichi typically pursues 'defensive soccer' It is similar to former coach Santo. The fact that Daichi of this style was chosen to replace Postecoglou, who failed disastrously while playing offensive football is evidence that Nottingham is regretting the replacement of Santo. He is trying to return to the style of the team created by coach Santo.

Nottingham said on its website that Daichi, a respected and experienced manager in the EPL, will write a new history for the club based on his outstanding personality, tactical mastery and proven achievements. Daichi, who has led more than 330 EPL matches so far, has led the team with defensive organization, resilience and strength in set-pieces. These qualities are closely related to the characteristics of the current squad and the club's football identity,' explained the senior background.

He added that `Dai Chi, who is from Nottingham Youth and lives in the region, has a deep understanding of the values and pride of the Nottingham club and its Nottingham supporters.'

In fact, there were many problems from Nottingham's initial dismissal of Santo.

Santo led Nottingham to the UEFA Europa League last season. He was one of the highly anticipated coaches this season as well. However, Nottingham were dismissed three games after the opening of this season. The reason is because of a conflict with Evangelos Marinakis 'The Furious Owner'. Santo did not obeys the Marinakis owner's policy. In the end, the owner of the Marinakis dismissed Santo during the A-match in September.

Soon after, he appointed Postecoglou, who was of the same Greek descent as him. Postecoglou pursued a completely different style of attacking football than his predecessor Santo. Expectations were high because he led Tottenham Hotspur to victory in the Europa League last season.

As a result, however, Postecoglou's appointment was catastrophic. Postecoglou has had only two draws and six losses in eight games since his inauguration. He didn't get a single win. In the end, he replaced Postecoglou 17 minutes after losing 0-3 in the eighth round of the league against Chelsea on the 18th. It was the first disgraceful resignation in 39 days, the shortest period in EPL history.

Nottingham are currently on the brink of relegation. With one win, two draws and five losses, it is ranked 18th in the relegation zone with only five points. Daichi should succeed in staying. This is the disastrous result of the owner's closed operation.
