STEVE COOPER has signed a shock new contract as Nottingham Forest manager.

That is despite the Welshman being among the favourites to be the next Premier League boss to be sacked.

Steve Cooper has signed a new contract as Nottingham Forest boss

Cooper led Forest from relegation candidates to Championship play-off winners last season in a superb turnaround.

But after bringing in 23 new players over the summer transfer window, he has so far struggled to get the East Midlanders firing.

They have won just once this term – against West Ham – and were thumped 4-0 by local rivals Leicester on Monday night.

That result saw the Foxes leapfrog the newly-promoted side and put them bottom of the Premier League table.

But after crunch talks this week, the club’s top brass – including owner Evangelos Marinakis – have decided Cooper is the man to keep leading the team.

And therefore the ex-England Under-17s boss has put pen to paper on a fresh deal until 2025.

Forest, who appointed a sporting director on Wednesday, are keen to switch the attention back to matters on the field.

The club said: “It is now important that our focus is solely on football.

“As a group we are all concentrated and will do everything we can to help the team move up the league table and once again demonstrate our qualities that led us to the Premier League.”

Cooper and his men face another crunch clash on Monday night as they host fellow strugglers Aston Villa.
