Steve Cooper Signs New Nottingham Forest Contract
Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has signed a contract extension with the premier league side until 2025.
Cooper, 42, led the club to promotion into the Premier League last season but his team are bottom after eight games.
There were doubts over his role after a 4-0 defeat by Leicester City on Monday but it was decided he would remain in charge.
“It puts clarity on speculation. No one had ever questioned how much I love it here and want to be here,” Cooper said.
Cooper was appointed Forest manager in September 2021 and took them back to the top flight for the first time since 1999 at the end of his first season in charge.
He then spent £145m on 21 players in the summer transfer window.
Despite the heavy spending, Forest have won just once in the league this season, with the defeat at the King Power Stadium their fifth in a row.
