Nottingham Forest promotion hero reveals brutal reason for surprise transfer

Former Nottingham Forest loanee Philip Zinckernagel says he left Olympiacos because he “didn’t want to play” for boss Carlos Corberan.

The Dane only joined the Greek club - who, like the Reds, are owned by Evangelos Marinakis - in June, making the move from Watford. He made seven appearances, scoring twice, before signing on loan for Standard Liege last week.

Pedro Martins had been in charge of Olympiacos when Zinckernagel put pen to paper. When he was sacked, Marinakis replaced him with the man whose Huddersfield Town side had been beaten by Forest in the Championship play-off final in May.
