Nottingham Forest Sacks Steve Cooper, Hold Talks With Nuno Espirito Santo
Premier League side, Nottingham Forest has dismissed its head coach, Steve Cooper, and is currently holding talks with former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo to replace him.
After losing five of their past six games, Forest have decided to act and told Cooper of the decision on Tuesday.
Former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has also been mentioned as a potential replacement, but it seems Nuno is now in pole position.
Forest, 17th in the top flight, has won once in 13 Premier League games and taken eight points in that time.
They have also picked up just one point from their past six matches and are five points ahead of third-bottom Luton, who have a match in hand.
Cooper has consistently been backed by the Forest support, but owner Evangelos Marinakis has become increasingly concerned at his club’s plight.
Forest play Bournemouth at the City Ground on Saturday before tough-looking fixtures at Newcastle United on 26 December and at home to Manchester United on 30 December.
