Former Man Utd captain Keane returns to Nottingham Forest as O'Neill assistant

Roy Keane has returned to Nottingham Forest as assistant manager to Martin O'Neill, the Championship club have confirmed.

The former midfielder joins the club less than two weeks after O'Neill was named the new manager, teaming up once again with the man he was second-in-command to at the Republic of Ireland national team.

Keane first joined Forest at the age of 18 after impressing famous manager Brian Clough. He went on to spend three seasons with the Reds and played over 150 matches before being snapped up by Manchester United, where he established himself as a Premier League legend in a 12-year spell.
