Forest would appeal to Keane if offered job, says Kennedy

Roy Keane would be interested in the vacant managerial post at Nottingham Forest if he was approached by the club’s new owners, according to the former Manchester United captain’s representative.

Forest are looking to appoint a new manager after the Kuwaiti-based Al-Hasawi family, who took charge at the City Ground a week ago, sacked Steve Cotterill last Thursday. Former Forest midfielder Keane was immediately installed as one of the favourites to replace Cotterill.

Solicitor Michael Kennedy, who represents the 40-year-old, says Keane would be interested in ending his 18-month exile from management to talk to the club he served for three years as a player in the early 1990s.
