Nottingham Forest appoint Chris Hughton as new manager

Nottingham Forest have appointed Chris Hughton as their new manager.

The Reds confirmed his arrival at the City Ground shortly after announcing head coach Sabri Lamouchi had been sacked.

"Nottingham Forest are delighted to announce the appointment of Chris Hughton as the club’s new manager," the club said in a statement.

"Hughton joins the club with a wealth of managerial experience, leading both Newcastle United and Brighton to promotion from the Championship and going on to establish both teams in the Premier League.

"The former Republic of Ireland international also boasted an impressive playing career, winning two FA Cups and the UEFA Cup during his time at Tottenham Hostpur.

"Hughton has also managed Norwich City in the Premier League, leading them to an 11th-placed finish in 2012-13, and has managed close to 450 first-team games with a win percentage of over 40 per cent."
