Espirito Santo to sign as new Nottingham Forest manager today – per Fabrizio Romano

Nuno Espirito Santo will sign as new Nottingham Forest head coach today (Wednesday), following the sack of Steve Cooper.

Forest on Tuesday evening, parted ways with Cooper, after series of defeats that leave them in the bottom half of the Premier League table, languishing in the 17th spot.

However, Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that former Wolves boss Santo, will takeover managerial duties at the club, having been on their radar for a while.

“Nuno Espirito Santo signs in as new Nottingham Forest head coach today — contract ready.

“Deal will be valid until June 2026, Nuno is already in England with his representative since yesterday. Official soon,” he added.

Nottingham Forest are five points above the relegation zone, and have lost nine Premier League games so far this season, with five draws and three wins.
