Aitor Karanka went some way to calm the doubts over his future as he oversaw his Nottingham Forest side beat Leeds United 4-2 on New Year’s Day.
The Championship club aren’t having the season they’ll have wanted, but in seventh place there’s still a reasonable chance of a push for promotion to the Premier League.
There’s been rumours about possible replacements being lined up should Karanka be edged out, and now L’Equipe comes with something a little different.
In their Thursday edition, the French newspaper says Nottingham Forest have made contact with Jose Anigo.
He’s probably best known as a manager for taking charge of Marseille twice, the club he played more than 200 times for in the city in which he was born.
Nottingham Forest are said to have made contact over Anigo becoming their sports director, a job he did at Marseille for a decade.
There’s not anything more said, and no clue to the outcome, so this is one to keep an eye on.
