English Premier League (EPL) club Nottingham Forest has appointed its third coach in more than a month.

Nottingham announced the appointment of former Everton manager Sean Dyche on the club's official channel on the 21st (Korea time). The contract period is one year and eight months until June 2027.

The club said on its website that Daichi, a respected and experienced manager in the EPL, will write a new history of 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.'

The appointment of Daichi, who has a strong sense of defense, is like acknowledging that the appointment of former coach Enze Postecoglou, who is aiming for offensive football, is a failure. Nottingham replaced Postecoglou 17 minutes after losing 0-3 in the eighth round of the league against Chelsea on the 18th. On September 9, former Tottenham manager Postecoglou, who took the helm of Nottingham to replace the ousted West Ham manager Nunu Espiritu Santo, resigned in disgrace after 39 days, the shortest period in EPL history, after not winning a single game in eight matches, including the Cup.

Nottingham fell to 18th place, the relegation zone, with only one win, two draws, five losses and five points amid the all-time operation of two coaches in about a month. This is the background of Daichi's appointment as a 'residual preacher'. Daichi, a former manager of Watford, Burnley and Everton, is from Nottingham Youth and is set to return for the first time in about 35 years.




He gained his current reputation by leading Burnley in the 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 seasons and leading two EPL promotions. He took the helm of June Everton in the January 2023 season, leading him to a dramatic stay in 17th place. However, he was disappointed with his 15th-place performance in the 2023-2024 season, and was dismissed in January as he showed no signs of rebounding even after the opening of the 2024-2025 season. Some fans tilt their heads at the decision to appoint Daichi to replace Postecoglou, given that he has no success experience in the EPL. Daichi's winning rate at Everton was only 30.95% (26 wins, 26 draws and 32 losses).
