FOREST SACK COOPER AND HIRE ESPIRITO SANTO – Nuno Espirito Santo appointed as new Nottingham Forest head coach
Nottingham Forest have appointed former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach. The Portuguese coach replaces Steve Cooper, who was sacked on Tuesday with Forest picking up just one win in 13 matches to leave them in 17th place – five points above the drop zone.
Nuno has signed a two-and-a-half year contract at the City Ground, taking his deal up until the summer of 2026. This is Nuno’s first managerial job since being sacked by Saudi Arabia club Al Ittihad in November.
