Nottingham Forest target "iconic" manager

Nottingham Forest's new owners have said that they are targeting an "iconic" manager to take over at the City Ground.

Steve Cotterill was surprisingly axed soon after the Al-Hasawi family completed their takeover earlier this week.

Abdulaziz Al-Hasawi has revealed that they have a number of names on a shortlist and will look to make their appointment soon.

He told The Sun: "We are talking to several iconic names that have a very clear understanding of this league."

Glenn Hoddle, Mick McCarthy, Darren Ferguson and Roy Keane are four of the names that have so far been linked with the job.
