Teddy Sheringham has hailed the "perfect" decision to award Steve Cooper a long-term contract when he came under pressure earlier in the season.
The Nottingham Forest boss appeared to be close to being sacked at multiple points during the campaign in order for the club to hire a more experienced Premier League manager.
Ultimately owner Evangelos Marinakis stuck by Cooper and much to the surprise of many, awarded the former Swansea boss a new contract back in October shortly after the Reds suffered a heavy 4-0 loss at Leicester City. The decision was rewarded as Forest stayed up at the expense of the Foxes, Leeds and Southampton.
