Former Everton boss Sean Dyche is being hotly tipped for a return to football following Ange Postecoglou's sacking as Nottingham Forest manager.

Postecoglou was sacked on Saturday within minutes of his side losing 3-0 at home to Chelsea, with the Australian dismissed after just 39 days in charge at the City Ground.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis could be seen to have left his seat during the second half of the defeat to the Londoners, and moments after the final whistle the club released a brutal statement confirming that Postecoglou had been dismissed.

The club said: "Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that after a series of disappointing results and performances, Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties as head coach with immediate effect. The Club will make no further comment at this time.

Dyche has been out of work...
