Former Nottingham Forest striker Dean Saunders believes Steve Cooper is "the man" to take Nottingham Forest back to the Premier League after 23 years outside the top flight.
Ahead of the play-off final against Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Saunders has been singing the praises of his former colleague Cooper and believes the Forest head coach deserves to be called Manager of the Year with a win at the weekend.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Saunders said: "Steve Cooper, who I know really well, was my youth team coach at Wrexham - I did my Pro Licence with him. Forty-four games, eight defeats (as Forest head coach). He's got them from nowhere to where they are now.
