Nottingham Forest had a tough season. Not only did they manage to only just survive relegation, but they could not settle on a manager. In fact, they that was not all they could not settle on.
They sold Dorus De Vries to Celtic last summer and, despite their manager at the time Philippe Montanier being a former keeper himself, did not do a good job in replacing him.

Serbian international Vladimir Stojkovic was eventually signed as his replacement, arriving from Israeli side Maccabi Haifa.
He showed off his excellent shot-stopping abilities at times throughout the season, but his error-prone nature soon shone through and Forest eventually went with Stephen Henderson and Jordan Smith instead.
The 33-year-old has not played for Forest since February and his future appears to be elsewhere.
He is certainly preparing for it. As reported by Serbian paper Novosti the international stopper has started a kindergarten business in Belgrade with his partner.

He has been in Serbia for a number of weeks now, once it became clear he was not in Mark Warburton’s plans.
Forest will no doubt be looking to move on the veteran this summer, whose contract at the City Ground lasts until 2018. His new business venture may suggest that his heart is still at home.
