Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper is on the verge of signing a new long-term contract with the club, ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.
The Reds' head coach has been in the hot seat at the City Ground for less than a year but has made a major impact in that time. Forest sat at the bottom of the Championship table when he was appointed back in September last year, but he turned the season around as Forest climbed the table to earn a place in the play-offs.
A penalty shootout win in the semi-final against Sheffield United set up the Wembley showpiece final against Huddersfield last month. A first half own goal from Levi Colwill saw Forest return to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.
