# Nottingham Forest: Robert Pires says Sabri Lamouchi is ‘very happy’ with the Reds

**Former France international Robert Pires has said that Sabri Lamouchi is content at Nottingham Forest.**

The current Reds boss is coming up to his one-year anniversary with the club after replacing former manager Martin O’Neill in June 2019 just 18 minutes after the Irishman was sacked (via [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48800839)).

Pires, a former teammate of Lamouchi, recently spoke about his own managerial career, admitting that he isn’t sure where he’ll end up. “You can’t know where you’ll go as a manager,” the Frenchman told Vosges Matin (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/former-international-teammate-explains-nottingham-forests-lamouchi-happy-city-ground/)). “I’ll give the example of Sabri Lamouchi, who’s very happy at Nottingham Forest.”

The Reds will resume their Championship season fifth in the table, with a place in the play-offs very much in reach. Forest have won 16 games so far this term and have accumulated 60 points, putting them just behind Brentford on goal difference (as per [TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/tabelle/wettbewerb/GB2/saison_id/2019)).

If Lamouchi can lead his side to the play-offs, it will be the [first time in nine years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nottingham-forest/platzierungen/verein/703) that the club have fought for a spot in the Premier League. Bagging the third promotion spot is a strong possibility for this good-looking Forest side, and if they succeed it will be a long-awaited return into the top flight, in which they last played way back in [1999](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nottingham-forest/platzierungen/verein/703).
