Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is considering several candidates for the head coach position after Ange Postecoglou was dismissed following a 3-0 loss to Chelsea. Sean Dyche is the leading contender, but Roberto Mancini and Marco Silva are also being considered. Marinakis has long been interested in Silva, who previously managed Olympiacos, though securing him is challenging as his Fulham contract expires next summer.

Financial constraints complicate compensation for a new coach, especially after significant payouts to Nuno Espirito Santo and his team, who were sacked in September. Similar costs are expected for Postecoglou's departure. Despite this, Forest's management is eager to act swiftly with an important Europa League match against Porto approaching.

This coaching decision is crucial for Marinakis, who seeks stability and confidence in the team and among fans after a difficult period. Forest invested over £180 million in new players this summer, many of whom were not included in the Chelsea match, contributing to tensions between Marinakis and Postecoglou.
