Evangelos Marinakis has made Fulham’s Marco Silva his No 1 target to succeed Ange Postecoglou as Nottingham Forest head coach.
Marinakis, the Forest owner, was considering replacements before sacking Postecoglou immediately after the 3-0 home defeat on Saturday against Chelsea, which extended the Australian’s winless run in charge to eight games. Sean Dyche and Roberto Mancini are among the candidates who have been sounded out.
