Dyche’s experience spans over 330 Premier League matches, where he has built teams known for their defensive organization and resilience.
Joining him in coaching duties are former Nottingham Forest players Ian Woan and Steve Stone, who bring added experience to the technical staff. Their skills align with the club’s goals to secure a successful season in both domestic and European competitions.
