Super Eagles duo Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi are set to work under a new manager after Nottingham Forest confirmed the dismissal of Sean Dyche following Wednesday night’s goalless draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Premier League side announced the decision in an official statement on Thursday morning, bringing an end to Dyche’s tenure after a run of three consecutive league matches without a victory.

In the statement, the club expressed appreciation to Dyche and his backroom staff for their commitment and efforts during their time at the City Ground, wishing them success in their future endeavours.

The stalemate against Wolves left Forest hovering just above the drop zone, holding a slender three-point cushion over West Ham United, who currently sit in the final relegation place in the Premier League.

Aina played the full 90 minutes in the encounter, while Awoniyi remained an unused substitute as Forest struggled to find a breakthrough.

The latest managerial change marks the third coach Aina and Awoniyi will play under this season, following the earlier departures of Nuno Espírito Santo and Ange Postecoglou.

As Forest prepare to appoint a new gaffer, Aina, who has been a consistent performer, will aim to maintain his place in the starting lineup as the club battles to secure Premier League survival while also competing in the UEFA Europa League.

For Awoniyi, who has endured limited game time, the change presents a fresh opportunity to impress and re-establish himself after a challenging spell at the club.
