Chris Hughton has taken over at Nottingham Forest after Sabri Lamouchi was sacked. The two announcements came within 30 minutes of each other on Tuesday evening. Lamouchi paid the price for a poor start to the season that has seen Forest lose all four of their Championship matches. Hughton has been out of work since being sacked by Brighton in May 2019.
