PL News: Steve Cooper sacked by Forest - 1

The announcement that Cooper has been dismissed has come after Forest lost five of their past six games.

Forest have won once in 13 Premier League games and taken eight points in that time. They are currently 17th in the Premier League. 

They have also picked up just one point from their last six games and are five points ahead of third-bottom Luton, who have a match in hand.

A statement on the Forest website reads

Cooper departs The City Ground having played an integral part in Forest’s return to the Premier League, cementing himself firmly into the Club’s rich history after guiding The Reds back into England’s top-flight.

Appointed as head coach in September 2021, Steve galvanised Forest’s extraordinary rise up the Championship table and into the play-offs, culminating in a memorable win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium in May 2022. He then went on to manage the team for 55 matches in the Premier League.

It finishes the statement by announcing that a further news on the appointment of a new head coach will be announced in due course.

Some of the best reaction to this news

Danny, a Forest fan, told us: "In spite of the fact that I love Cooper, he has done as much as he can. Things could have been different if his constant defensive tactics had resulted in more draws and wins. He'll always remain a legend in my eyes."

Kieran added: "The top manager, beloved by fans, gets the club, has had to rebuild after losing all loan players and has played nearly every game. You lose your top scorer. What do you expect him to do? And appoint the guy who has failed in his two previous jobs and managed your rivals? Madness."

Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
