Former Nottingham Forest chief defends January transfer business following sacking

Former Nottingham Forest sporting director Filippo Giraldi has defended the club’s January business.

The 49-year-old was sacked by the Reds in April following the 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa, the result coming a few days after losing to relegation rivals Leeds and saw Steve Cooper ’s men drop back into the relegation zone for the first time since January.

Giraldi was not responsible for the 22 players brought in during last summer’s transfer window but oversaw seven new additions in the mid-term window - Andre Ayew (free agent), Keylor Navas (Paris Saint-Germain), Felipe (Atletico Madrid), Danilo and Gustavo Scarpa (Palmeiras), Chris Wood and Jonjo Shelvey (Newcastle).
