Nottingham Forest expect to make an announcement on Steve Cooper’s coaching set-up next week, following the departure of Steven Reid.
Reid has left his position on Cooper’s staff to take up a new challenge. In a statement announcing his decision, he said he plans to offer his services as a specialist coach “helping people improve their mental well-being, confidence, and leadership”.
Under-23s boss Andy Reid has been in Spain with Cooper and his squad on their pre-season training camp, and was in the dugout for their opening friendly against Coventry City. Given a number of younger players - such as Oli Hammond, Fin Back and Aaron Donnelly - had been part of the group which travelled, Cooper says it “made sense” to have the Irishman along.
