Steve Cooper has been handed a new contract by Nottingham Forest just days after fearing he would be sacked.
The Welshman has agreed a deal until 2025 after Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis decided to back his manager following talks earlier this week.
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.
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.
