Fans favourite Cooper Sacked:

Steve Cooper sacked by Nottingham Forest with Nuno Espirito Santo lined up


Cooper, a fan favourite, departs after a dismal run of form for Forest with one win in their last 13 matches

Nuno Espirito Santo is expected to sign a two-and-a-half year deal to become the new manager of Nottingham Forest.

The Reds have today confirmed the departure of Steve Cooper as head coach. And former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno is understood to be set to hold talks with the club’s owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Forest confirmed Cooper’s exit in a statement on Tuesday. Marinakis paid tribute to the man who guided the club to promotion back to the Premier League.

“Steve will always remain a friend of the Club and will forever be welcome at The City Ground. We wish him well in his future endeavours.”
