Nuno replaced Steve Cooper in December 2023 and kept Forest up, the club surviving on the final day of the 2023-24 season. They suffered a four-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules but finished 17th.

Last season, Nottingham Forest was the surprise package as they competed for Champions League spots, remaining in the top four for most of the campaign. However, they fell out of contention after winning only two of their last seven games, although they did qualify for the Europa Conference League play-off stage.

The former Wolves and Tottenham head coach also led them to the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1991, where they were defeated 2-0 by Manchester City.

In a statement on Forest's website, the Forest boss said: "Nuno Espírito Santo said: “I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football Club. Since we arrived at Forest, we have worked extremely hard to create a special bond between the players, the fans and everyone at the Club, which helped us achieve great things last season."

Good news for Forest and their fans.

Frank, a Forest Season Ticket holder, told us: "Nuno signing a new deal is massive for Nottingham Forest. Since coming in, he’s brought a real structure and belief back to the club. You can see the players respect him, and the fans are fully behind him. 

"Keeping hold of a manager of his calibre shows the club is serious about building for the future. Stability is what we have needed for years, and this contract extension allows for that. Forest now feels like a proper Premier League side again. He has the experience, passion, and tactical acumen to take us forward."

A pivotal summer begins for Manchester United Manchester United enter the summer on the back of a bruising Europa League final defeat and one of their worst-ever Premier League campaigns.  Author | Liam C Under new head coach Rúben Amorim, the club faces a defining transfer window, one that could shape their trajectory for the next few years. Maybe even the next decade. Amorim has not shied away from speaking plainly about the scale of the task ahead. United are in urgent need of a reset, and this time, they cannot afford missteps. If the Portuguese coach is to succeed with his preferred 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 formation, the club must fully support him in the market. So where should they begin? Signing Matheus Cunha would be a strong statement of intent. The Brazilian forward was Wolverhampton Wanderers’ standout performer last season, combining work rate with end product. More importantly, he could help solve United’s long-standing attacking problems. United have struggled for goals a...

Czech Republic 1 - 3 England Harvey Elliott set England Under-21s on course for a winning start as the reigning champions opened their European Championship defence with a composed victory over the Czech Republic in Slovakia. Author | George B Stadium | MOL Aréna Despite a string of withdrawals in the lead-up to the tournament, head coach Lee Carsley named an adventurous line-up for the Young Lions’ opener. England broke the deadlock six minutes before half-time. Tino Livramento, a lively presence down the left, saw his cross deflected into the box where captain James McAtee laid it off for Elliott, who finished with a crisp low drive. Livramento was central again for the second, gliding past his marker before delivering a low ball that brushed Jonathan Rowe en route to beating goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The Czechs responded swiftly through Daniel Fila, who nodded in Vaclav Sejk’s chipped cross just moments later. But England reasserted control and sealed the result 14 minutes from...
