2. Gianfranco Zola
The bookies favorite to take the job. His remarkable time at Watford saw many highs and lows as his side adopted a brilliant style of play. That season saw him take his Watford side to the Play-Off final after a crazy semi-final against Leicester. The semi-final saw Troy Deeney score an emphatic late winner to clinch victory, after Anthony Knockaert’s penalty miss. Zola’s win percentage of 44% at Watford may attract Forest to send him Nottingham bound. Zola’s Premier League experience will help him to use the squad he will inherit with a core of real talent. Zola is a likely candidate to take the reigns at Forest.
Sky Bet odds as of 31st March; 7/2.
