Nottingham Forest have parted ways with manager Steve Cooper following a run of one win in 13 Premier League matches. The decision, announced late yesterday night, comes after Forest’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
According to sources, former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo has already landed in England and is close to finalizing his appointment as Cooper’s successor. Reports suggest that discussions between Nuno and Forest officials are at an advanced stage, with an official announcement expected soon.
Cooper’s dismissal marks a dramatic change in fortunes for the manager who guided Forest to promotion from the Championship last season. However, their struggles in the Premier League have ultimately cost him his job. Forest currently sit 19th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone.
Nuno, known for his disciplined and organized approach, brings a wealth of experience to the City Ground. He previously led Wolves to promotion to the Premier League and enjoyed a successful spell at the helm of FC Porto. His arrival will be seen as an attempt to solidify Forest’s position in the top flight and avoid relegation.
This developing story will be updated as further details become available.
