Sean Dyche Makes Oliver Glasner Comparison

Former Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has compared Oliver Glasner's current struggles as head coach to his own tenure at the club.

Dyche was in the Forest dugout for just shy of four months, from October 2025 until February of this year.

The 55-year-old had initially done well on Trentside, losing just one of his first seven games in charge - including a promising Europa League League Phase showing.

Forest scored just twice in Dyche's final three games in charge, including just once in two home games, and failed to win any of them.

Scoring goals has been a serious problem for Forest since the start of last season, and those woes are now haunting current boss Glasner.

Forest have won just one game all season, and have scored a league-low total of six goals as they languish 19th in the Premier League table.

Speaking on Threads, Dyche has compared the Reds' current situation to the one he endured during his own tenure, and urged the club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, to afford Glasner more time at the helm.

"Nottingham Forest are still finding the goals hard to come by," Dyche noted. "And I had it along with my staff... We scored, but nowhere near what the metrics were telling us… So not enough to stay in our job?

"We had 35 efforts at goal vs Wolves, and yet [it ended as a] 0-0 result and culminated in myself and staff being sacked.

"I hope Oliver is given more time and the fans stay with him, and the players stand up and be counted."

Dyche also responded to a supporter who questioned the circumstances surrounding his Forest exit earlier this year.

He suggested that some turned on him after he pointed out the same issues that Glasner addressed during his rant after Forest's defeat at Brentford.

"I called out the group as a collective after the Wrexham game," he revealed, "And fans said I was out of order for doing so…. Go figure!

"The badge is bigger than all … and yet it seems not nowadays! I can only hope it turns and the culture we were insisting upon is now being assessed and realised as what was and is needed.

"Oliver is out there saying what I was saying… in his own style, of course! COYR!"

While Glasner seeks a solution to Forest's misfortune, things will not get any easier for the Reds, with games at home to Manchester City and away to AFC Bournemouth either side of the upcoming international break.
