He was supposed to take Forest to the next level, but he left after 49 games, as his career fell apart due to his heavy drinking problem. He returned to finish his career at Rangers, but retired at 31 and died too young, at 61, from cancer.
It didn’t pan out for him at Forest, though. He arrived on loan in January 2014 for the rest of the season but only played once when the club realised they'd made a terrible mistake. He returned to Nice and eventually joined Dundee.The central defender joined Forest from Real Oviedo at the age of 31 for £1m in 1996, on the back of a solid tournament for Croatia at Euro 96. However, he only made 14 appearances as Forest were relegated from the Premier League that season.
Matrecano also played for Foggia, Napoli, Udinese and Parma. He moved into management with stints at lower league sides Foligno and former club Perugia.A manager who endured a terrible time at Forest. However, his stint as a player was even worse.
