Nottingham Forest have appointed former French international Sabri Lamouchi as their new manager after sacking Martin O’Neill.
Lamouchi, who was previously in charge of Rennes in Ligue 1, becomes Forest's 13th full-time boss in just over eight years.
He now takes over at the City Ground looking to improve on O'Neill's ninth place finish last season.
Forest's Championship rivals Derby have wasted no time in poking fun at the situation.
@PaulMotto: The gift that keeps on giving.
@tomdcfcmorris: Ahahahaha banter.
@dayko_uk: #dcfc are in a mess with Lampard… #nffc “hold my beer”.
@AshChapman94: Just goes to show a club legend doesn’t always work..
@TheJackOrton96: Derby and Forest both looking for new managers.
@RamDerby: Forest are a fantastic rival to have. No matter how much things seem bleak at Derby; you only have to look down the A52 and smile. Great club.
With the Rams suffering their own managerial conundrum at the moment, two great rivals have one thing in common - the yo-yo philosophy when it comes to stable, long term appointments.
@Tweddds: Football in Derby and Nottingham could win a soap award.
@ConnorJBennett: We just keep trying to out do each other.
@aspirams: As our own #dcfc meltdown continues along come #nffc… are we genuinely just trying to out do each other?
@_omeara_r: The battle to be the best banter club in the East Midlands is just getting silly now.
@JimmyDCFC: Always a worry that Forest will actually end up with someone good – a worry that comes around every 6 months or so.
@Raich89: Forest trying to compete with us in the form of chaos I see.
@Scottbareham1: Oh dear. We really are two peas in a pod.
