LONDON, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Carl-Peter Forster, who quit as head of General Motors Europe on Friday, is due to take charge of Indian group Tata Motors' luxury British carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, the Sunday Times newspaper said.
The paper cited sources in Frankfurt as saying that Forster was likely to be given a senior role at Tata Motors which could involve him running the company's British operations.
Forster left GM after criticising it for reversing a decision to sell European unit Opel to Canadian auto parts company Magna.
No one at Jaguar Land Rover was immediately available to comment.
