Pundit Danny Murphy has come out in defence of Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper amid recent speculation over his future.
Reports from Brazil had claimed that former Santos boss Jorge Sampaoli had been approached by Forest, before refusing an offer to replace Cooper at the helm. Forest have endured a difficult run of results and are winless in their last nine games - raising question marks over Cooper's future.
Reds owner Evangelos Marinakis has issued a statement giving public backing to the Welshman. And when discussing the manager's achievements at the club, Murphy told talkSPORT: "It’s not the way to go."
