Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been named among three candidates in line to become the next manager of Nottingham Forest.
According to talkSPORT’s transfer insider Alex Crook, who revealed the development in a post on X, Forest are drawing up options following the dismissal of Santos as first-team manager late last night.
The club hierarchy opted to part ways with Santos less than a fortnight after a damaging 3-0 home loss to West Ham United in the Premier League.
Crook reported that Mourinho—recently relieved of his duties at Turkish giants Fenerbahçe—features on Forest’s shortlist alongside ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou and Fulham’s current head coach Marco Silva.
“Ange Postecoglou one of the early front runners to replace Nuno at #NFFC,” Crook posted on X.
“Marco Silva also admired by the hierarchy there and Jose Mourinho another option, although I understand Edu and Marinakis want a more progressive playing style, which was one of the issues with Nuno.”
