Nottingham Forest are set to appoint former Swansea City manager Steve Cooper following the sacking of Chris Hughton.
Forest sit rock bottom of the Championship table with a draw and six defeats to their name.
The former Swans manager is the frontrunner to take over at the City Ground, with compensation reportedly agreed.
However, ex-Reds' striker Nigel Jemson would like to have seen former Bournemouth head coach Eddie Howe at the helm.
He told This is Futbol: "One person for me, who's without a job and I would like to see down there, would be Eddie Howe."
Howe has been out of work since leaving the Cherries in 2020 following a three-year (2008-2011) and then an eight-year spell (2012-2020) on the south coast.
During his time there, the 31-year-old saved Bournemouth from dropping out of the Football League, secured three promotions, and enjoyed five heady seasons in the Premier League, as the Cherries established themselves as a top-flight team.
Howe was set to join Scottish Premiership outfit Celtic before the deal fell through between the two parties.
As previously reported by NottinghamshireLive , Howe was 3/1 favourite to join the City Ground, but the betting odds have now changed to 16/1, as Cooper is set to become Forest's new manager.
