Report: Nottingham Forest sack Martin O’Neill, have replacement lined up

in an exclusive that No🦹ttingham Forest have sacked manager Martin O’Neill just five months after he took over at the City🎐 Ground, and already have a replacement lined up.

O’Neilꦏl, 67, has left the club, 38 years after leaving Forest as a player in 1981. He struggled in his short spell at the club, winning just eight of 19 games in charge and losing the same amount.

It is reported that a number of key Forest players have losꦦt confidence in the former Ireland, Aston Villa and Leicester City manager. Indeed, some have turned against O’Neill, after Keane leftꦇ the club last week.

Th𒅌e report also states that Forest have lined up a replacement in Sabri Lamouchi, a former France international who has managed the Ivory Coast, Qatari-based side El-Jaish ⛦and most recently Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais.

TBR’s view

The timing is interesting. O’Neill will have drawn ✤up targets and started pre-season training, only to be sacked within the first days of doing just that.

🍌Now, Forest must undergo the procedure of adding a new manager, which will take time and could cost the Championship club in the transfer market and on the training ground.

If Fo♓rest owners are wise, thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚey will appoint a replacement as soon as possible.
