Dougie Freedman has been named new manager of Nottingham Forest.
The Scot takes the place of Stuart Pearce who was sacked on Sunday night after a 1-0 home defeat against Millwall.
Freedman, 40, was the preferred candidate of Kuwaiti owner Fawaz Al Hasawi because of his experience of working in The Championship with clubs on limited budgets.
The pair held amicable discussions on Sunday night before Freedman was appointed on an 18-month contract.
Pearce, a legendary Forest player under Brian Clough and a former England Under 21 and Manchester City manager, was sacked after seven months in charge following a run of three wins in 23 matches.
