Super Eagles duo Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi will have a new manager at Nottingham Forest following the dismissal of Sean Dyche in the early hours of Thursday, SportPremi reports.
The former Burnley and Everton manager was sacked after spending just 114 days at the club, following their disappointing goalless draw against Wolves on Wednesday night.
The 54-year-old joined the club last October after the club parted ways with Ange Postecoglou after he spent only 39 days in charge.
Dyche becomes the third manager to be sacked this season by Forest, who could soon make history by becoming the first Premier League club to appoint four permanent managers in a season.
The Tricky Trees have only won two of their last 10 Premier League matches and are 17th on the standings, three points above the drop zone.
Sean Dyche had the highest win percentage of any permanent manager under owner Evangelos Marinakis with 47.1%.
“Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as head coach,” a statement read.
“We would like to thank Sean and his staff for their efforts during their time at the club and we wish them the best of luck for the future. We will be making no further comment at this time.”
What next for Forest?
Nottingham Forest have a week break before the first leg of their Europa League knockout clash against Turkish side Fenerbahce.
However, it is uncertain if the club would have concluded the appointment of a new manager by then.
Talks are also progressing with former Wolves manager Vitor Pereira, who is highly rated at the club and could seal an agreement in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Awoniyi will be hoping to get regular playing time upon the arrival of a new manager after limited opportunities under Dyche, unlike Aina, who was one of the first names on the starting team after recovering from a knee injury earlier this year.
