Sean O'Driscoll appointed new manager of Nottingham Forest two months after leaving City Ground 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. He is hugely respected, not only by members of our current squad and staff at the club for his work in helping transform our fortunes last season, but also within the wider football community. The former Republic of Ireland international said: "It was an easy decision to make to return to Nottingham Forest. I enjoyed my time working with the players last season, and even in sometimes difficult circumstances the fans gave the kind of support you don't often see in football today. The Al Hasawi family's ownership opens exciting prospects for this club and I look forward to rebuilding the squad and playing the kind of attractive football the City Ground deserves to see. Crawley chief executive Alan Williams was willing but reluctant to bid O'Driscoll farewell after just two months in the job. "The club is extremely disappointed to be losing Sean so soon after he came to Crawley Town, but our policy has never been to stand in the way of any employee who feels they would prefer to pursue a role at a different club." he said. We would like to thank Sean for his efforts during his time at the club and we wish him all the best for the future. Crawley director of football Steve Coppell and head coach Craig Brewster will take over team affairs for the time being.
