Steve Cooper spared sack at Nottingham Forest after signing new three-year deal

Daily Mail  

Steve Cooper has been handed a new contract by Nottingham Forest just days after fearing he would be sacked. After the 4-0 defeat at Leicester last Monday that left Forest bottom of the table, Forest were believed to be sounding out possible replacements for Cooper, including former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez. Steve Cooper has avoided the axe as Nottingham Forest boss after signing a three-year deal The Forest boss looked on shaky ground after the 4-0 loss at Leicester, but owner Evangelos Marinakis has handed him a new three-year deal Yet after originally withdrawing the terms that had been presented to Cooper last summer, Marinakis has performed an about turn and decided to show faith in the 42-year-old. Speaking at a press conference on Friday shortly after his new deal was announced, Cooper said: ‘It’s good there’s clarity to the contract situation. Andy Scott is set to have his future discussed as chief scout following the arrival of Filippo Giraldi as sporting director at the club Cooper was initially offered a new contract over the summer following his heroics in the Championship play-off promotion, but his hesitancy to pen a new contract left figures in the club raising questions over his future commitment to the City Ground.
