Sean Dyche has spoken about his activities since leaving Nottingham Forest in February. The 54-year-old manager has appeared on podcasts, joined Instagram, and participated in a marketing campaign for Snickers. Dyche said his sense of humour, previously kept behind the scenes, is now more visible.

He has discussed football analysis as well as topics such as his favourite curries and club nights in Ibiza.

Dyche fronts a mobile wellness centre called VAR Spa in the Snickers campaign. The campaign addresses fan frustration with refereeing decisions and VAR. A survey commissioned by Snickers found that one in three football fans in the UK believe VAR has made football less enjoyable.

More than two thirds said a time limit should be introduced on VAR decisions. Dyche said some decisions can cost teams and that VAR needs to become quicker. He noted that fans find it frustrating when decisions go against them.

Dyche said he was not actively seeking a new role when Nottingham Forest contacted him. He added that he would consider any future offers. He said the period since leaving management has been easy going and that he has enjoyed exploring new avenues.
