Former Nottingham Forest academy graduate Yassine En-Neyah has revealed the impact that one-time Reds assistant manager Roy Keane had on his development with the club.
Keane returned to the City Ground in a coaching capacity mid-way through the 2018/19 season to work with then-manager Martin O'Neill for a short spell that ended less than five months later after the end of the campaign. He and O'Neill had previously worked together for five years managing the Republic of Ireland national team before leaving in November 2018.
While Keane was back at Forest, En-Neyah was playing for the Reds' under-23s team as well as training with the first team squad. The Morroco-born former Ireland youth international has now shared how his fellow Irishman kept a keen eye on the club's academy sides.
