Former players Nedum Onuoha and Shay Given have engaged in a discussion about the potential outcomes of Nottingham Forest’s search for a new manager. Following Ange Postecoglou’s departure after a 3-0 loss to Chelsea, rumors are swirling about who will take the helm at the City Ground.
One name that has emerged as a contender is former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini. Onuoha and Given, who both played under Mancini at City, expressed differing opinions on the possibility of his appointment. Onuoha believes that Mancini’s strict coaching methods may not align with Forest’s identity and history, while Given recalls the fiery and volatile nature of working under him at City.
The idea of Mancini and Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis coming together in a room is described as “absolute carnage” by Given, hinting at a potential clash of personalities. However, Mancini’s recent success with the Italian national team shows that he still has the ability to lead teams to success at the highest level.
As Forest continue their search for a new manager, the decision to appoint Mancini remains uncertain. While there is still time for the team to salvage their season, the potential partnership between Mancini and Marinakis remains up in the air.
