Nottingham Forest have tied down Steve Cooper to a new deal at the City Ground - despite claims he was close to the sack.
The former Swansea City manager has penned a fresh contract with the newly-promoted Premier League side until 2025, a club statement confirmed on Friday morning. The statement added: "It is now important that our focus is solely on football. As a group we are all concentrated and will do everything we can to help the team move up the league table and once again demonstrate our qualities that led us to the Premier League."
Cooper produced heroics at the City Ground last term as he earned the Reds promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs, having taken over with them languishing at the foot of the Championship table.
