Roy Keane leaves/Sammy Ameobi set to sign for Nottingham Forest

Roy Keane is leaving Nottingham Forest

As confirmed by Nottingham Post reporter Paul Taylor, Roy Keane is about to leave Nottingham Forest again.

Keane returned to the City Ground last season to work alongside Martin O’Neill.

O’Neill and Keane had previously worked in tandem for the Irish national team.

In the end, the 2018-19 season petered out for Nottingham Forest, as they failed to come close to a playoff place.

It’s now been confirmed that Keane is leaving Forest as he attempts to “pursue other opportunities.”

The indication is that Keane is looking for a way back into football management.

Roy Keane is leaving #nffc. Not a reflection on his relationship with Forest or Martin O’Neill, but on his own ambitions to return to management. Wants to pursue other opportunities.
