Steve Cooper sacked by Nottingham Forest after more than two years in charge

  /  autty

Steve Cooper has been sacked as head coach of Nottingham Forest.

Forest have lost five of their last six Premier League games, including last Friday's 2-0 defeat at home by Tottenham.

Cooper took over at the club in September 2021 when they were bottom of the Championship. He led them to play-off success that season, beating Huddersfield at Wembley in the final.

He kept Forest in the Premier League last season, doing so after a 1-0 win at home to Arsenal in May, and has seen a high volume of players come into the squad since returning to the top flight.

Former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is the favourite to replace Cooper at the City Ground. Another ex-Wolves boss, Julen Lopetegui, has also been under consideration, along with former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner.
