Nottingham Forest has announced that they have sacked Steve Cooper with former Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo now the favourite for the position.
The writing was on the wall for the English manager for a while with every game seeming like a do-or-die for his position at the club.
Forest lost five of their last six games, with the defeat at home to Tottenham on the weekend the nail in the coffin for Cooper.
The club confirmed on Tuesday that they had sacked the manager with his replacement Espirito Santo set to fly out to accept the position.
