Nottingham Forest are bringing in former Watford chief scout Filippo Giraldi as their new sporting director.
The 48-year old Italian, who also served as Watford’s technical director for three years, will come in as part of an anticipated management reshuffle at Forest.
Giraldi will be given the task of auditing the current structure and evaluating the roles of staff as owner Evangelos Marinakis looks to get the best out of his club and investment.

Giraldi joined Watford from Brescia when the Pozzi family bought the Vicarage Road club in 2012 and was key in identifying talents such as Etienne Capoue, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Richarlison, Ismaila Sarr and Joao Pedro.
