In his first press conference, Dyche expressed his pride in managing the club he once played for as a youth player. He recalled his time at Forest from 1987 to 1990, when he would often walk along the Trent River and catch a glimpse of Brian Clough's dog, Del Boy. Dyche is determined to make a positive impact and get the team back on track.

Dyche will be assisted by a team of coaches, including former Forest players Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Tony Loughlan, and Billy Mercer. He acknowledged that his new colleagues have a deeper connection to the club, but emphasized that it's time to move forward.

Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season under Nuno Espirito Santo, but Postecoglou's more attacking approach failed to yield results. Dyche, known for his direct playing style, is focused on getting the team back to winning ways.

Dyche believes the team has the potential to succeed, citing their strong performances last season and their desire to win. He aims to reignite that spark and get the team back on track.

Dyche also addressed the current trend of set pieces and long throws, stating that there are many ways to win a game. He emphasized that he's not committed to one particular style, but rather focused on achieving success.

The Europa League tie against Porto will be a crucial test for Dyche and his team.
