Nottingham Forest may currently be without a permanent first-team manager, but they could also be about to lose another member of their coaching staff.

It is reported by the BBC that Robert Page is the number one choice of the Football Association of Wales to take over as the under-21 manager for the nation.

He would be taking over from Geraint Williams if he did take the job.

Page was capped 41 times as a Wales international in his career and has had spells in charge of Port Vale and Northampton Town as a manager.

He was sacked by the Cobblers after a dreadful run of form in January which saw the club lose nine games out of 11 and soon arrived at Forest to act as a first-team coach.

But a little over a month later it looks like he could be on his way out of the City Ground.

The report claims talks have been held, but no contract is yet to be signed

However, it sounds likely that Page may be on his way out of Forest already after a month at the City Ground.
