Former Everton manager Sean Dyche is reportedly the front-runner to take over from Ange Postecoglou if Nottingham Forest decide to make a change in the dugout, but Evangelos Marinakis should be going all out for Fulham boss Marco Silva.
It's been a tricky start to life in the Midlands for Postecoglou, who is still searching for his first win in charge of Forest after taking over from Nuno Espirito Santo in September. The pressure if mounting on the former Tottenham Hotspur boss, and if the winless run continues, Marinakis could be looking to make another change of manager in the near future.
The international break will have been an ideal time for Forest to sack Postecoglou if they wanted to, giving a new manager two weeks to settle in at The City Ground. Postecoglou remains in charge, for now, but his job doesn't appear to be safe as he prepares for face Chelsea in the Premier League next Saturday.
Nottingham Forest Must Hire Silva Over Dyche

According to reports, former Everton boss Dyche, who left the Toffees back in January, is the front-runner to take over from Postecoglou if Forest opt to make a change in the dugout in the near future. It's claimed that Fulham manager Silva has also been considered, but there are possible concerns over having to pay compensation to prise him out of Fulham, while it's also unclear whether he'd be willing to make the move.
Dyche endured difficulties with Everton when it came to their attacking play, and considering Forest are playing in Europe now and looking to progress, he might not be the right man for the job. Silva, described as a 'genius', has turned his Fulham side into an established Premier League club after their promotion, and Marinakis shouldn't be concerned about paying compensation when it comes to appointing the next manager.
It's an incredibly important decision for Forest, and they shouldn't be settling for a manager just because they are out of work at the moment. Silva has shown more during his time at Fulham in terms of taking a club to the next level than Dyche did at Everton, and Marinakis should be doing everything he can to get him to The City Ground to replace Postecoglou if they opt to sack the former Celtic manager.
