Telegraph reporter John Percy has confirmed Nottingham Forest are in talks with Mark Warburton about becoming the club’s next permanent manager.

Warburton left Scottish Premier League side Rangers last month in controversial fashion, after just 18-months in-charge at Ibrox, but has experience in the Sky Bet Championship, having previously managed Brentford.

Forest are looking for their next permanent manager, following Philippe Montanier’s dismissal in January.

Gary Brazil has been tasked with the job of guiding Forest to safety in the Championship, but with the club currently 19^th in the table and just two-points above the relegation zone, talks with Warburton have been brought forward.

Brazil’s side suffered a damaging defeat to Burton Albion on Saturday, as they slipped further into relegation trouble, with just nine fixtures of the Championship season remaining.

Forest are without a victory in their last two league games, and face Derby County on Saturday, where Warburton’s appointment could hand them a timely boost.
