Roy Keane’s tenure as Nottingham Forest’s assistant manager has come to an end, with the Championship club’s former midfielder leaving his role on Sunday after only five months. Keane had returned to the club where he made his name as a player in January, shortly after another ex-Forest midfielder Martin O’Neill had taken over as manager following Aitor Karanka’s departure. “Nottingham Forest can confirm that assistant manager Roy Keane has left the club,” the club said in a statement https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2019/june/roy-keane-departs. Keane joined Forest in 1990 under manager Brian Clough before moving to Manchester United in 1993 where he won seven Premier League titles, the Champions League and four FA Cups in 12 trophy-laden years at Old Trafford. British media reports said that Keane, who led Sunderland back to the Premier League in 2007 and managed Ipswich Town in the Championship before becoming Ireland assistant in 2013, was looking to resurrect his career as a manager.
