Nuno Espirito Santo has emerged as a contender for the Nottingham Forest job if Steve Cooper pays for poor recent results with his job.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese is out of work after leaving Saudi club Al-Ittihad earlier this year. He had a hugely successful spell at Wolves from 2017-21, leading the club from the Championship to consecutive seventh placed finishes and the quarter-finals of the Europa League in 2020.<\/p>\n
But he lasted barely four months at Tottenham after taking the job in summer 2021. Nuno is a client of Portuguese super agent Jorge Mendes and has also managed FC Porto and Valencia.<\/p>\n
Forest have won only one of their last 13 matches and Cooper’s relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis has become increasingly strained in recent times.<\/p>\n
Former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner, who led the Germans to the Europa League in 2022,\u00a0is also believed to have been sounded out.<\/p>\n
