Former football owner turned pundit Simon Jordan has praised Nottingham Forest chief Evangelos Marinakis for sticking by manager Steve Cooper.
A run of five straight defeats had piled the pressure on the Forest boss. The latest of those defeats saw the Reds fall to a 4-0 loss against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Monday night.
Just hours after the defeat, speculation over the future of Cooper started, with the Reds said to be considering the Welshman’s future. That has now changed, with Forest confirming that the manager has put pen to paper on a new contract that runs until 2025.
