Gary Brazil was an unpopular departure at Nottingham Forest this summer as he ended an 11-year association with the club. Now, he’s back in the saddle and has landed a brilliant new gig.
The man who spearheaded the Forest academy for many years deserves the utmost respect. He was the figurehead behind the club obtaining Category One status and unearthed several gems.
Brazil has raked in millions for Forest over the years. Players like Oliver Burke, Matty Cash and Ben Brereton Diaz were all products of the Reds under the influence of the 60-year-old.
His departure from Forest was curious. Despite 11 years of service the club never announced that he was leaving and Craig Mulholland from Rangers appears to have replaced him.
Ross Wilson appears to have set his stall out at Forest. He’s added his trusted lieutenant to the club’s academy but that meant Brazil departing at the end of his contract.
