I hope he is at home with his family. People need to wake up to this and quickly...

Anyone know where Sabri is. In Nottingham or in France with his wife and family?

I hope he is at home with his family. People need to wake up to this and quickly...

I would imagine that is where Sabri is and it's where he should be.

Just 2 months of Sabri's contract left to run now.

Something needs to give.

It does Sniff.

Ideally he'll get a new one for a couple of years.

If he signs, this will be the best news in ages!

Sabri Lamouchi in talks over new Nottingham Forest contract

Just in via John Percy:

Lamouchi, his staff and Forest's board are also taking "significant" pay cuts to assist the club during the coronavirus pandemic

Sabri Lamouchi is in talks over a new contract at Nottingham Forest while the head coach, his staff and the board are taking  significant pay cuts to assist the club during the coronavirus pandemic.

Lamouchi will remain in charge at the City Ground until the end of this season, regardless of the finishing date, and is also set to further extend his tenure at the Championship club after an impressive debut season in English football.

The 48 year old was appointed in June last year as Martin O’Neill’s successor and signed a 12-month deal, which automatically triggers an extension if he guides Forest back to the Premier League.

Forest have agreed that Lamouchi will stay for the remainder of this season, which has been suspended due to the deadly virus, and are also moving to retain their highly-regarded head coach for the long-term.

It is also understood that Lamouchi, his staff and the club's board have accepted pay cuts - as opposed to deferrals - during the coronavirus crisis.

The Frenchman had led Forest to fifth in the Championship before the season was frozen, five points clear of seventh-place, and Lamouchi has won two manager of the month awards.

Lamouchi has proved a shrewd appointment since being named as O’Neill’s replacement, after first establishing his reputation as a manager with the Ivory Coast national team and Rennes.

A former midfielder and France international, he has raised hopes of the two-time European Cup winners finally ending their long exile from top-flight football. Forest were relegated from the Premiership under Ron Atkinson in 1999.

[Trent End Dave]

Wise move, whatever happens I think he’s earned the right to carry on.

Just hope he’s prepared to stand his ground re key player retention - not just new player targets.
