Head coach Sabri Lamouchi has overseen a reshuffle to his backroom staff as Nottingham Forest look to go again with a promotion bid.
In a response to their final day capitulation which saw the Reds miss out on the play-offs, staffing changes have been made at the City Ground.
Forest have been very keen to put last season quickly behind them and move on. And while the club have stuck by Lamouchi, it was this week announced the Frenchman will have some new faces supporting him on the bench.
Assistant coaches David Barriac and Jean-Paul Ancian, coordinator manager Roberto Berghenti and goalkeeping coach Ian Bennett have all departed.
In their places, Ahmed Kantari and Guilherme Ramos have joined the Reds as first-team assistant coaches, Olivier Pedemas is goalkeeping coach and Arnaldo Abrantes becomes head of performance.
When Lamouchi made the move to Trentside little more than 12 months ago, it was with a view to the club looking to introduce a continental style set-up - much like is the case at fellow Evangelos Marinakis-owned side Olympiacos.
Following the shake-up, these are all the people who now make up Lamouchi’s backroom team, as listed on the official website.
Head coach - Sabri Lamouchi
The 48-year-old had previously been in charge of the Ivory Coast national side, Qatari outfit El Jaish and Rennes, in his homeland, before taking up the job at Forest in June 2019.
The decision to appoint him as head coach rather than manager allows him to focus purely on football matters.
He recently signed a new two-year contract with the option of an additional year.
Assistant coaches - Bruno Baltazar, Ahmed Kantari, Guilherme Ramos
Lamouchi is backed up by three assistants, with Baltazar remaining in place.
The former defender has worked with Lamouchi in the past, when he was his deputy at El Jaish. The Portuguese has also had management roles at Estoril, APOEL, AEL Limassol, Olhanense, Casa Pia, Atletico, Sintrense and as assistant boss with the Philippines national team.
Kantari is a former Moroccan international defender and spent last term as assistant coach at French team Valenciennes.
Ramos has previously worked at Portuguese side Estoril and in the Champions League with APOEL in Cyprus.
Goalkeeping coach - Olivier Pedemas
The ex-stopper made more than 400 appearances during his playing career in France, the majority with Le Mans.
Like Baltazar, he worked with Lamouchi in Qatar, at El Jaish, as well as with the Ivory Coast national side.
Head of performance - Alexandros Koinis, Arnaldo Abrantes
Abrantes joins the team with extensive experience in the performance and medical profession, both in and out of sport.
He counts Estoril and the Portuguese Athletics Federation among his former employers.
