Sean Dyche won six of his 18 Premier League games in charge of Nottingham Forest

When Sean Dyche was nominated for the January Manager of the Month award just seven days ago, he presumably didn't expect to be out of a job two games later.

Defeat by Leeds United and a goalless draw in Wednesday's meeting with bottom side Wolves has prompted Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis to call time on Dyche's four-month tenure as head coach, but the former Burnley and Everton boss could argue that he has been hard done by.

That nomination came on the back of league wins over Brentford and struggling West Ham United, defeat by third-placed Aston Villa and a point at home to leaders Arsenal.

Throw in an FA Cup exit on penalties at the hands of Championship side Wrexham, a Europa League defeat by Sporting Braga, followed by a thumping win over Ferencvaros to secure a knockout phase play-off, and Forest's form since the turn of the year has been the definition of a mixed bag.
