Dyche the perfect fit for Forest - Robinson
- Published
Sean Dyche is the "right man at the right time" for Nottingham Forest, according to former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
Ex-Everton manager Dyche has been appointed as Forest's third manager this season after replacing Ange Postecoglou.
He takes over after Postecoglou lasted just 39 days in the job, himself having replaced Nuno Espirito Santo on 9 September.
Forest are 18th in the Premier League and winless since the opening day of the season, with Dyche facing the media on Wednesday before Thursday's Europa League visit of Porto.
"It's probably the right man at the right time. For both, it's the right fit for him and I think for Forest," said Robinson, who played at Burnley for Dyche before retiring in 2017.
"He has an excellent ability to be the boss but also have the dressing room on side, to be one of the lads but also have that respect and the time where you know he's the boss.
"His ability to integrate himself in the dressing room but, at the same time, keep his distance is great."
After facing Porto, Forest travel to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Wayne Hennessey has left his coaching position with the club. The goalkeeper retired at the end of last season with Forest creating a role for him under Nuno Espirito Santo to work with goalkeeping coach Rui Barbosa.
But Hennessey, whose 109 caps for Wales is the most for a goalkeeper, departed while working under Ange Postecoglou, although it is believed to have been his decision to leave the City Ground.
