Who will replace Ross Wilson and Pedro as heads of recruitment has been a topic sent in via our ‘Ask about Nottingham Forest’ form.
We are still waiting for confirmation Ross Wilson is going to become Newcastle’s new sporting director but it is widely expected the Scot will move.
He enjoys a good relationship with Eddie Howe and PIF, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, and Newcastle’s owners have tracked him since his time as Rangers sporting director.
With global head of football Edu officially arriving at Nottingham Forest in the summer a switch to the Magpies represents a fantastic opportunity for Wilson, Forest’s chief football officer.
Pedro Ferreira, Forest’s head of recruitment, has been linked with a return to Benfica if Noronha Lopes is elected as the club’s new president next month.
In terms of replacements, one name stands out but of course there will naturally be other candidates.
Mark Lawwell spent two years as Celtic’s head of first-team scouting and recruitment, working closely with Ange Postecoglou when the pair were at Celtic Park together.
Lawwell spent 10 years with the City Group, becoming head of scouting and recruitment within the global structure which includes Manchester City, Girona and Yokohama F Marinos.
He worked closely with Postecoglou at the Japanese club and followed the Australian to Glasgow in the summer of 2022 but left in March last year.
