What Nottingham Forest players really struggled with during Sean Dyche's tenure as head coach

Sean Dyche has seen his latest tenure as a Premier League manager come to a blunt halt with Nottingham Forest pulling the plug on his tenure.

Forest sacked Dyche after a drab 0-0 draw against Wolves that left the Reds just three points clear of the relegation zone with 12 Premier League matches left to play.

Vitor Pereira is set for the Nottingham Forest job as Sean Dyche’s replacement. Are you happy with the appointment?

It’s been claimed that Evangelos Marinakis met with five senior players after drawing with Wolves, and that led to Dyche being handed his papers and leaving his position.

Now, more claims have emerged regarding Dyche and his City Ground exit after just 114 days in charge of Forest.

Why Nottingham Forest players lost faith in Sean Dyche

Paul Taylor is the man with his fingers on the pulse when it comes to Forest, and he’s been on The Athletic’s football podcast this week to discuss the sacking of Dyche.

Naturally, the decision did come as a bit of a surprise, and it would appear as though the players lost complete faith in their head coach’s tactical mindset.

Taylor said on the latest episode of the podcast: “It all garnered this real sense of positivity and togetherness and unity.

“Having had that connection, it’s kind of ironic now that there’s this sense that there’s a disconnect between him and the players who we’re told haven’t been too impressed with his style of play, haven’t had the greatest amount of confidence that the way he does things was going to get them out of the trouble that they’re in.

“As you mentioned, you’ve got West Ham, who are on a worryingly good run of form.”

Vitor Pereira has huge chance to re-establish himself

Pereira might not be the obvious choice to replace Dyche but with just 12 games of the season remaining, it’s hard to grasp being able to get a truly top manager into the position.

The Portuguese manager will have a chance to prove that Wolves were wrong to let him go earlier this season, and Forest fans will hope he can enjoy a similar bounce to what he experienced when he first went in at Molineux.

The amount of money Nottingham Forest have paid out to managers

This is just ridiculous, should we have persisted with Dyche?

Pereira proved that he has a tactical mindset when he managed Wolves and the hope will be that he can outshine Dyche when it comes to getting the players onside and being able to impact games from within.

It’s far from ideal that the Reds have chosen to replace Dyche at this late stage of the campaign, but ultimately, if the players weren’t having him, the writing was quite clearly on the wall.
