Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the appointment of Carly Davies as Nottingham Forest Women first team Head Coach.
Davies arrives on Trentside with over 20-years’ experience at Aston Villa both playing and coaching in the West Midlands.
The Reds’ Head Coach also coached within the England pathway at under 19 level as well as a stint at West Bromwich Albion as Assistant Manager.
Women’s and Girls Manager, Amber Wildgust, spoke on Davies’ appointment as Forest Women Head Coach: “We are delighted to announce Carly as the Head Coach for our women's first team.”
“Carly brings a wealth of knowledge from her experience in the Women's Super League and Championship.”
“With her recent work in the England talent pathway, she possesses all the skills to guide us in our transition to becoming a full-time professional outfit.”
Davies shared her first thoughts after joining Nottingham Forest:
“It’s an exciting time for the women’s side, the squad is in a good place and I’m looking forward to working with a talented group of players.”
“I want to develop a style of the play that the fans can really enjoy, whilst creating a culture at the club that everyone is proud of.”
Carly spoke on Forest Women’s move to a hybrid model for the 2023/24 season as the women’s side was fully integrated into Nottingham Forest earlier this summer:
“The plans for the club and the direction the owner wants to take the women’s programme aligns with my core values and it is a project that I am excited to be a part of.”
