Steve Cooper’s position as Nottingham Forest head coach is understood to be safe, ahead of next week’s clash with Aston Villa.
A run of five straight defeats had put the head coach’s job in jeopardy, with several names already being linked as potential replacements, should a change be made. Cooper had been at risk of the axe on the back of Monday night’s 4-0 thumping at Leicester City.
However, talks between the club’s hierarchy on Wednesday afternoon are said to have resulted in a decision to give the Welshman more time at the helm as he grapples with getting a new-look squad to gel. It is understood he will be in the City Ground dugout against Villa next Monday night.
