Steve Cooper is facing the sack at Nottingham Forest after a run of one win in 13 matches, with Nuno Espirito Santo a leading contender to step in.
Mail Sport revealed on November 25 that Cooper was under huge pressure after Forest were beaten 3-2 at home by Brighton and he was close to being removed both after the 5-0 defeat at Fulham on December 6, as well as last weekend having lost 2-0 at home to Tottenham.
The club are five points above the relegation zone and if Cooper leaves, Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is keen to appoint a successor in time for Saturday’s clash with Bournemouth.
