Nottingham Forest have announced Steve Cooper as their new head coach.
The Championship club made the announcement on their official website yesterday.
Cooper has replaced Christ Hughton in the hotseat at the City Ground.
Forest dismissed Hughton from his role as the manager on September 16 following their sixth loss from seven Championship games.
Dane Murphy, Nottingham Forest Chief Executive, said: “Steve was our first choice as head coach and we are delighted to have secured his services. His record of developing young talent is exceptional.
“Steve knows what is required to be successful in the Championship and has a proven track record with Swansea.
“We have reduced the age of our squad over the summer and Steve is the ideal coach to blend a team to start moving us up the table.
“On behalf of the owner and the Board, we welcome Steve to the club and look forward to providing every support he needs to be a success at Nottingham Forest.”
Forest will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Millwall at the City Ground in the Championship.
The Reds can be backed at 9/1 on Betfair to win the match against Millwall 2-1.
