Former Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli has been sounded out regarding the Nottingham Forest job.

The Premier League newcomers are hoping to avoid relegation, even this late into the season.

Per The Mail, they are still contemplating the sacking of boss Steve Cooper.

Even though Cooper is popular with the fans, Forest's ownership believes a change in coach could keep them up.

The source adds that Sampaoli, who was sacked by Sevilla three weeks ago, could be in line for the job.

The Chilean may feel that he has a lot to prove after his unsuccessful stint with Sevilla.
