Steve McClaren appointed as Davies' replacement at Nottingham Forest

Former England head coach Steve McClaren was unveiled as the new Nottingham Forest manager at a press conference at the City Ground this morning.

The 50-year-old, who as assistant to Jim Smith helped lead East Midlands rivals Derby to promotion to the Premier League in 1996, returns to English club management after a five-year absence.

McClaren agreed a three-year contract on Monday to succeed Billy Davies who was sacked the previous day.
