Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink contacted by Nottingham Forest?

Nottingham Forest have reportedly approached Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink following the dismissal of Alex McLeish on Tuesday.

It has not yet been revealed whether the 40-year-old has been contacted regarding the managerial position or a coaching role, but according to Sky Sports News, there has been a conversation between both parties.

The former Chelsea striker joined Forest in 2011 as a first-team coach, but departed last month after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

Former Forest boss Billy Davies and ex-Southampton manager Nigel Adkins have also been linked with the managerial position at the Championship club.
