Nottingham Forest have sacked Martin O’Neill after just five months in charge.
The 67-year-old club legend was appointed by Forest in January as he succeeded Aitor Karanka at the City Ground
The former Sunderland boss led the club to a ninth place finish in the Championship but it appears that wasn’t enough.
Reports claimed a number of key players have now turned against O’Neill with his assistant Roy Keane leaving his role last week.
The one-time Celtic, Aston Villa and Leicester City boss has now lost his job.
A club statement read: “Nottingham Forest can confirm that manager Martin O’Neill has left the club.
“The club would like to thank Martin for all his efforts during his time at The City Ground and wish him well for the future.”
Forest are now on the lookout for their 12th manager since June 2011 with former France international Sabri Lamouchi in the frame to replace him.
