Nottingham Forest are looking for a new manager to replace Philippe Montanier.

Billy Davies is currently the favourite to become Nottingham Forest’s next manager, with SkyBet.

Forest are on the look out for a new boss, after parting company with Philippe Montanier.

The Reds are currently sat in 20th place in the Championship, and there are fears that they could be drawn into the relegation battle.

SkyBet did chalk up Gary Rowett as the favourite to take over over the City Ground when the odds initially came out, but the former Birmingham City manager is now considered a 7/1 shot.

The bookies believe that Davies is most likely to be put in charge, in what would be his third spell with the Reds.

Davies has previously taken charge at Forest between 2008 and 2011, and he returned for a second stint in 2013.

Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom and Oscar Garcia are considered Davies’ nearest rivals for the job, with the pair both being rated at 7/2.

Elsewhere, current caretaker boss Gary Brazil is listed as an 8/1 shout to get the job for the long-term.
