Dyche replaced former manager Ange Postecoglou, who lasted just 39 days at the helm and was sacked mere minutes after the 3-0 loss to Chelsea on Saturday in what was his eighth game without a victory.
The 54-year-old has been handed an initial contract until the summer of 2027 and has taken no time in imposing his set of rules on the squad, who are in dire need of a win to turn their form around.
According to the Daily Mail, Dyche's players are not allowed to wear snoods or hats in training, but can wear white socks if they wish to. This is not new, as after becoming the Everton manager in January 2023, Dyche immediately banned snoods and hats from Everton training sessions.
"This has been going round for years, and it drives me mad. Unless I’ve been out of the game for too long, you’re not allowed to wear hats when you play on a Saturday, you’re not allowed to wear snoods when you play on a Saturday and you have to, by the rules, wear shin pads. It is not rocket science.
"Everyone makes the mythical story that it’s hard lines from Sean Dyche. It is just common sense. You train how you play, how can you train how you play if you have 14 snoods on, 15 hats and leggings, no shin pads, white socks, it’s not relevant. I told the players, ‘these myths I’m going to bust them for you right now’.
Forest are 18th in the Premier League, winless in all competitions since the opening day, and face Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night in Dyche’s first game in charge. Afterwards, his side go to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday before welcoming Manchester United on 1st November as Dyche chases his first victory at the helm.
