Nottingham Forest reportedly have Carlos Carvalhal and Slavisa Jokanovic on their radar.

According to The Sun, Nottingham Forest will make a move for former Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal should they failed to appoint Slavisa Jokanovic.

Forest are on the hunt for a new manager following the departure of Aitor Karanka on Friday.

The Sun has claimed that the Reds have made former Watford and Fulham manager Jokanovic their number one managerial target.

However, claims the report, should a deal with Jokanovic not be struck, then Forest will approach Carvalhal.

Sensible plan

Jokanovic has a strong record in the Championship, having guided Watford and Fulham to promotion to the Premier League.

With Forest very much in the running for the Championship playoffs, Jokanovic will probably be tempted to become the Reds’ manager.

Making Carvalhal a second choice is sensible, with the Portuguese having led Wednesday to the playoffs.

Carvalhal knows the division well, and if he is given funds to add players in the January transfer window, then Forest could well be challenging for more than the playoffs.
