Evangelos Marinakis has said he is ready to extend boss Steve Cooper’s contract as Nottingham Forest prepare for life in the Premier League.
Cooper has succeeded where many other Reds managers before him have fallen short, in guiding the club back to the top-flight, ending a 23-year absence. His achievement is all the more remarkable given he walked into a dressing room which was at rock-bottom, both in morale and the team’s position in the league table.
The Welshman penned a two-year deal when he arrived at the City Ground last September. But Marinakis’ “top priority” now is said to be to reward Cooper and his coaching staff after victory over Huddersfield Town at Wembley.
