Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall has heaped praise on manager Steve Cooper for transforming what appeared to be “a bit of a misfit team” into promotion winners.
The Reds can now start planning for life in the Premier League after a 23-year wait to get back to the top-flight. Victory over Huddersfield Town at Wembley on Sunday completed a remarkable turnaround under Cooper.
The Welshman picked up a team which was bottom of the Championship table when he walked in and carried them to success in the play-offs. Worrall says it was a squad packed with quality, which Cooper helped bring together.
