Agreement reached’ as key Nottingham Forest staff member to join Jose Mourinho.

Nottingham Forest had an incredible season last year as they were battling for qualification to the Champions League; however, they missed out and could only achieve qualification for the Europa Conference League.

were incredible last season as they managed to move from a side battling relegation to being one of the most feared in the country.

However, it was the staff that were key to this success, as they masterminded an approach to make Nottingham Forest one of the toughest teams to score past in the Premier League last year.

After winning that trophy, they qualified for the European Cup for a second consecutive season, winning the competition again in 1979-80.

 

The club have therefore won what is now the modern-day Champions League more times than they have won the English top-flight trophy.

In all fairness, it did seem as though Carragher was about to correct himself on the podcast, but he was interrupted before the conversation moved elsewhere.
