Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper is keen to quickly develop a strong relationship with new chief football officer Ross Wilson.
Wilson took up post earlier this week as the Reds moved swiftly to replace axed sporting director Filippo Giraldi. The 39-year-old made the move from Rangers and has previously held roles at Southampton, Huddersfield Town, Watford and Falkirk.
Cooper had a good partnership with Giraldi, who was only appointed in October. He wants to ensure he has the same with Wilson and insists the off-field changes have not disrupted preparations for Sunday’s clash with Manchester United.
