Marco Silva ‘is not expected to leave Fulham’ as Sean Dyche has become the leading contender to become the new manager at Nottingham Forest, according to the Athletic’s David Ornstein.

Dyche, a boyhood Forest fan, has apparently emerged as the most likely candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou at the City Ground as Forest’s ‘thorough process’ has identified the former Burnley and Everton manager as someone who can help lift the Reds away from the Premier League danger zone after Postecoglou failed to win a single game having succeeded Nuno Espirito Santo in September.
