Nottingham Forest giving manager Steve Cooper the vote of confidence is the ‘last thing he needs’, according to former defender Mark Lawrenson.
The Reds boss found himself under mounting pressure this week following a 4-0 loss against Leicester City on Monday night. It was reported that his future at the City Ground was being considered after the fifth loss in a row in the Premier League.
However, the Welshman will now be in the dugout for Monday night’s clash against Aston Villa and has been backed as the man to lead Forest up the table. It was confirmed by the club on Friday that Cooper has signed a new deal that runs until 2025.
