Forest appoint O'Driscoll as manager

Nottingham Forest have appointed former first-team coach Sean O'Driscoll as their new manager.

O'Driscoll, whose previous clubs include Bournemouth and Doncaster, worked under previous Forest manager Steve Cotterill for five months earlier this year before leaving to join Crawley in May.

The Kuwaiti-based Al Hasawi family sacked Cotterill shortly after taking control of the club and were linked with moves for a string of big-name bosses, including Mick McCarthy, Glenn Hoddle and Roy Keane.
