Nottingham Forest have begun discussions with Nuno Espírito Santo about becoming their next head coach after Steve Cooper was let go today after a run that left the club beaten in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Nuno has previously been head coach of the EPL teams Wolverhampton and Tottenham. His last managerial position was in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ittihad, whom the Portuguese guided to the title in May before being dismissed in November.
🚨 Nuno Espírito Santo is expected to be confirmed as Nottingham Forest’s new head coach tomorrow on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Nottingham are in the 17th place in the Premier League and have only 1 victory in their last 13 games. Cooper became just the 2nd head coach sacked by a Premier League team this campaign after the Blades dismissed Paul Heckingbottom at the beginning of December.
“Steve Cooper has been sacked as manager of Nottingham Forest, after a spell of over 2 years in charge”, Forest published about dismissing its head coach.
