Dyche, who replaced Ange Postecoglou earlier this week, oversaw Forest's 2-0 triumph against Porto in the UEEFA Europa League at The City Ground on Friday (AEDT), the club's first win in all competitions since 17 August.

Forest recorded its first victory in major European competition since November 1995 against Lyon in the UEFA Cup, ending a five-game winless run, which feature three defeats and two draws.

But, more importantly, Dyche's attentions have now turned to the Premier League, with his first league assignment a testing trip to high-flying Bournemouth.

With Dyche taking charge, Forest is already on its third permanent manager this season after Nuno Espirito Santo and Postecoglou. It is the earliest into a Premier League campaign where a side has had three different permanent managers.

"I'd waited a long time for that moment. As a young person here in '87, all I wanted to do was wear the shirt," Dyche said of his side's UEFA Europa League win.

"To come back as the manager is super pleasing, and to stand there and absorb it. I've learnt in life that sometimes you have to slow your thinking down and take it in.

"So many big moments in life have been so nerve-wracking; they just go, and suddenly they are finished. So I thought, 'take it in and put it in the memory'."

Bournemouth, meanwhile, is looking to continue its excellent start to the campaign, despite letting a two-goal lead slip against Crystal Palace to draw 3-3 last time out.

Eli Kroupi's first-half double and Ryan Christie's late goal looked to send the Cherries at least temporarily to the Premier League summit at Selhurst Park.

However, Jean-Philippe Mateta completed his hat-trick in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage-time to seal a share of the spoils for Oliver Glasner's team.

It's been a promising start for many of Bournemouth's summer recruits, but none are as impressive as full-back Adrien Truffert, who is relishing the challenge of the top-flight.

"It's one of the best leagues and I imagined it would suit me in terms of intensity and repetitive effort," Truffert said.

"On that day against Liverpool, we showed a lot of character to come back.

"We push ourselves in training. We have everything we need to focus on performing, and I want to keep improving, to take as many steps as possible.

"Everyone talked about the Premier League being a different level, and I wanted to form my own opinion. And yes, there's very little downtime."
