Despite a host of top name managers being linked to Nottingham Forest, they have appointed former first-team coach Sean O'Driscoll as their new manager.
O'Driscoll, whose previous clubs include Bournemouth and Doncaster, worked under previous Forest manager Steve Cotterill for five months earlier this year before leaving to join Crawley in May.
Forest have gone through difficult times since the Kuwaiti-based Al Hasawi family took over the club.
Former England boss Steve McClaren said he was pleased to get away from the nut-house.
The Al Hasawi family sacked Cotterill and were linked with moves for a string of big-name bosses, including Mick McCarthy, Glenn Hoddle and Roy Keane.
But some suggest the big name bosses would require funds to bring in new players, but O'Driscoll would work on a small budget.
Majority shareholder Fawaz Al Hasawi acknowledged as much, and declared O'Driscoll the ideal appointment.
Fawaz Al Hasawi: "We interviewed many well-known and high profile figures but we truly believe Sean O'Driscoll is the best man for the job.
"Sean's passion for Nottingham Forest, knowledge of the game and the Championship in particular, plus his work ethic, shone through in our conversations.
"We are delighted to welcome Sean back to the club. He has our total support and we are looking forward to a long and successful relationship."
