Nottingham Forest to interview 'Premier League' manager today

Nottingham Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi has revealed that he plans to interview a candidate for the vacant manager's position at the City Ground later today.

The Kuwaiti businessman sacked Sean O'Driscoll on Boxing Day, just hours after the Reds had secured an impressive 4-2 victory over Leeds United.

Al Hasawi took to Twitter later on Wednesday to claim that he has already lined up a replacement for O'Driscoll and that the unnamed candidate has Premier League experience.

He tweeted: "Made contact with PL manager tonight. Meeting Thursday."

Forest currently sit eighth in the Championship table with 36 points from 24 games.
