Sean Dyche, who left Nottingham Forest last month, has said he’s already been approached about a return to management
Sean Dyche has said top clubs have already approached him but he feels no urgency to take another job or prove a point after the difficult way his time at Nottingham Forest ended. Dyche was dismissed by Forest in mid-February, just four months after being appointed to help pull the club away from the Premier League relegation zone.
The 54‑year‑old, who became Forest’s third manager in a turbulent campaign, following Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou, is being linked with a move to Tottenham. Their interim head coach Igor Tudor is enduring a torrid spell since arriving last month.
The Croatian, who stepped in after Thomas Frank’s departure, has yet to win a game, leaving Spurs just a point above the relegation zone. After their 5-2 Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night, Spurs now head to Anfield for a must‑win clash with Liverpool – a result that could determine Tudor’s future if they come up short.

However, just weeks after his exit, Dyche admitted he’s in no hurry to jump back into management and even suggested he wouldn’t lose any sleep if he never returned at all.
Asked about his future plans on The Football Boardroom podcast, he said: “I know what I am. I could branch off this minute now and do what you’re doing now and be quite happy.
“You know, I’ve done my bit so if I do more, great. If I don’t do more, I won’t be crying over it. I won’t be, you know, but you’re left with this moment or that moment.
“Okay, yeah, not bothered about that. I’ve given my lot, I always do. So I’ve got no problem with that.

“So if I choose to step away, it will be my choice. It won’t be because no one will employ me.
“I could certainly, I’ve had offers already by the way, so that’s not a problem.
“Top level [offers] but the point is, you go, ‘Do I need that? Do I want to make a decision? Not at the moment.’”
While Dyche didn’t reveal which clubs approached him, Spurs could soon be searching for a new manager.
Dyche is currently priced at 12/1 to take over the north London club ahead of next season, according to Betfair.
