Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche is under growing pressure following their 3-1 loss at relegation rivals Leeds, GMS understands.
Forest recently suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat away at Leeds United, meaning they sit just six points above the relegation zone with West Ham having a game in hand. The Midlands outfit had picked up some impressive results of late, beating West Ham and Brentford, but the victories were far from convincing.
Dyche is Forest's third manager of the season, so far, with Nuno Espirito Santo sacked earlier in the campaign. It's understood that now-West Ham boss Nuno was relieved of his duties after a fallout with director Edu Gaspar following an explosive press conference.

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Dyche is under growing pressure following their 3-1 loss against relegation rivals Leeds on Friday night. Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis expected a bigger improvement in results when he appointed Dyche in October, but the Midlands club remain in the mix for the relegation battle.
Forest have won only two of their last nine league games and face a vital game at home to bottom side Wolves next week, who have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks. Dyche is already Forest's third manager of the season after Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou, and Mariankis had gone into the season expecting his side to challenge for European football.
Postecoglou was appointed after Nuno, but he was sacked after a brief spell in charge, despite being the first choice appointment of Marinakis at the time.

Marinakis a Long-Term Admirer of Marco Silva

GIVEMESPORT understands that Marianakis is prepared to make another managerial change, and with Dyche only contracted until the summer of 2027, any departure would not prove too costly.
Marinakis is a long-term admirer of Marco Silva, who worked under him at Olympicos, with the Fulham boss yet to sign a new deal at Craven Cottage. Silva, who has been described as a 'genius', is out of contract at the end of the 2025/2026, meaning he's able to move to a new club for free, if he opts against putting pen to paper over fresh terms.
