O’Neill in frame for job at Forest

MARTIN O’NEILL has been targeted by Nottingham Forest as they search for a new manager.

Forest parted company with Aitor Karanka on Friday and former Celtic boss O’Neill is on a three-man short-list along with ex-Fulham gaffer Slavisa Jokanovic and former Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal.

Forest legend O’Neill – who helped the club to win the European Cup twice as a player – recently made it clear he is far from finished with management after he left his post with the Republic of Ireland.
