Brazil, 54, has transformed Forest's fortunes since taking over from sacked Frenchman Philippe Montanier last month, steering them to three wins in his four games in charge.

However Brazil knows he still faces a fight to hang on to his job beyond this season with Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough still believed to be on Fawaz’s radar – despite knocking back the chance to follow in father’ Brian’s famous footsteps last week to lead Burton’s bid to stay in the Championship.
