Nottingham Forest Sacks Steve Cooper, Appoints Nuno Espírito Santo as Head Coach

Nuno's appointment follows a period of poor results and strained relations between Cooper and the club's owner, despite Cooper's popularity among fans.

• Steve Cooper has been sacked as the head coach of Nottingham Forest, with Nuno Espírito Santo named as his replacement.
• Nuno, the former Wolves and Tottenham manager, was chosen for his Premier League experience and his ability to communicate with Forest’s Portuguese-speaking players.
• Cooper's departure follows a period of strained relations with the club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, and a run of poor results, with only one win in 13 matches.
• Despite his dismissal, Cooper remains a popular figure among Forest supporters, having led the club to promotion and survival in the Premier League.
• Nuno will not have the same level of investment in the January transfer window as previous windows due to financial fair play rules.
