Nottingham Forest parted ways with Sean Dyche earlier this month, just a short time into his tenure.
Dyche spent just 114 days in charge before Evangelos Marinakis decided to make a change following a goalless draw with Wolves .

But the former Everton boss might not be out of work for long, with two clubs reportedly considering him as their next manager.
Sportsboom has suggested that Dyche could return to Burnley , where he previously spent nine years in charge, as pressure mounts on current manager Scott Parker.
Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion are also said to be interested. The same report claims the 54-year-old is their main candidate to take over from Eric Ramsay, who was sacked recently.

Earlier this month, there were reports that Dyche turned down an offer from Leicester City, who are currently battling to stay up in the Championship.

West Brom are not in much better shape, sitting just a point ahead of the Foxes in 21st. Given their position, it is likely they will get a similar response from the former Everton manager.
Dyche's reputation probably has not taken much of a hit, as most people understand how tough it is to survive at Forest under Marinakis.
Despite not being in charge for long, he posted his best points-per-game record of his career during his brief time at the City Ground.
The former Everton boss may choose to wait for a more appealing opportunity, possibly holding out for another Premier League role or a top-end Championship job.

Reports have also linked him with the Crystal Palace job once Oliver Glasner departs at the end of the season.
However, given the likely negative reaction from supporters, this scenario appears to be unrealistic wishful thinking.
