The City Ground

MANAGERS

These are the records for all the Forest managers, including caretakers, since Harry Radford was appointed as our first manager in 1889
In the next 86 years until Brian Clough joined in 1975, we had a total of 14 managers. In the 25 years since he left, we have had 19 managers and 9 caretakers!

Looking at the stats of post-Clough era, each manager has been in charge for an avergage of only 64 games. Frank Clark managed 180 games where Alex McCleish lasted only 7.
Martin O'Neill has currently managed 19 games.
