Ahead of Nottingham Forest's FA Cup clash with Chelsea this weekend, we revisit our exclusive interview with manager Sabri Lamouchi.
His forename means patient in Arabic - and Nottingham Forest manager Sabri Lamouchi is hoping his new club will give him the time to build a team capable of reaching the Premier League.
"The last five years, they have changed 11 managers here," Lamouchi explained to Sporting Life.
"The last one to do a full season it was close to ten years ago.
"I just want to make one season, one full season, and we will see where we finish. It just needs stability. I am not a magician. I am just a manager."
Lamouchi wants something which we might once have called ordinary: at least a season before anyone rushes to judge his side. And yet, his path from the middle of France to the middle of England has been anything but.
The former France midfielder boasts a World Cup finals appearance alongside Europa League qualification on his eclectic management CV, with both achieved just six years into what's still a burgeoning career in the dugout.
Now, he hopes to be the first man to successfully guide Forest back to the Premier League since they were relegated in 1999. Many have tried, all have failed, but Lamouchi has finally made the Forest faithful believe following a solid start to the 2019/20 campaign.
