Head coach Steve Cooper says he isn’t thinking about his own contract situation, with his full focus on preparing for Nottingham Forest’s Premier League return.
The Welshman has a year left to run on the deal he signed when he took charge at the City Ground last September. Owner Evangelos Marinakis spoke about getting Cooper tied down to a new one after promotion was secured, and an agreement is believed to be close, with talks having taken place in the off-season.
Reds star Brennan Johnson’s contract was also due to expire in 2023, but he has put pen to paper on fresh terms. And that left many fans hoping the manager would be next.
