His pedigree in both domestic and international football can deliver such it should prove a huge asset to Nottingham Forest’s behemoth of an ambition blueprints. Marco Silva, now in charge of Fulham, was on the club’s radar. Given his recent success in the Premier League, he would be a strong candidate for the job.
