The season is only in its third month and already Nuno Esperito Santos and Ange Postecoglou have been let go since they fell out of favor with the owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Is Dyche the man to meet Marinakis' demands and get Forest in order? He has clearly – in Burnley and Everton – shown an ability to build teams and lift clubs in crisis.
Dyche makes his first match in charge already against Porto in the Europa League on Thursday.
Forest finished seventh in the league last season, but are now parked in a relegation spot with only five points from eight played matches.
Malmö FF meet Nottingham in the Europa League away on November 27.
