Nottingham Forest made their move yesterday as they decided on the appointment of Gary Brazil until the end of the season, The BBC reported.

Brazil has won three games for Forest since being named interim boss in January, and the decision was a popular one.

However The Sun report that Forest still have ambitions to appoint Nigel Clough in the summer, after failing to land the Burton Albion manager last month.

Clough was reluctant to leave Burton mid-season, especially with Forest in a state of transition due to their takeover which collapsed in early January.

The BBC had reported that Clough was interested in the Forest job, before later deciding the timing was wrong to make the move, which would see him follow in the footsteps of his iconic father Brian.

Clough’s Burton are in 21st place, one above the relegation zone, but have won two of their last three games, while Forest under Brazil have climbed to 15th.
