Sport
Alex McLeish has been appointed the new manager of Nottingham Forest.
The 53-year-old former Aston Villa, Birmingham and Scotland boss replaces Sean O'Driscoll, who was sacked on 26 December after five months in charge.
"I believe he's the man who can help us fulfil our ambition of making it to the Premier League," said Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi.
Forest will hold a news conference on Friday to officially unveil McLeish as their new manager.
O'Driscoll, 55, was relieved of his duties hours after a 4-2 Championship win against Leeds that left the club one point off sixth-placed Watford.
Al Hasawi had earlier declared that Forest would be "looking to bring in an ambitious manager with Premier League experience", stating that "with the January transfer window approaching, we feel it's the right time to make a change".
