Nottingham Forest have confirmed manager Steve Cooper has been sacked, with former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo in talks to replace him.

Cooper has been sacked after Forest lost five of their past six games.

The 44-year-old led Forest to promotion to the Premier League in 2022, ending a 23-year absence from the top-flight.

“His achievement in guiding Forest back will undoubtedly remain an iconic moment in the club’s history,” said owner Evangelos Marinakis.

“We thank Steve for his dedication and commitment during his time with us, as well as the incredible connection he forged with our supporters and the city of Nottingham.

“Steve will always remain a friend of the club and will forever be welcome at cthe City Ground. We wish him well in his future endeavours.”
