The new deal that Steve Cooper was offered in October has made his position more secure, however, the win over Liverpool was followed by a heavy defeat by the leader's Arsenal.
Forest currently sits in 20th position with relegation looking likely.
24th October 2022
Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is now out to 14/1 to be the next manager to leave the Premier League. This is due to the fact that he just signed a new contract at Forest despite the rumours around his dismissal over the last couple of months.
Forest had a massive win on Saturday against Liverpool with Cooper's men winning 1-0 in a game where goalkeeper Dean Henderson was on fire.
4th October 2022
After a whopping 4-0 defeat to neighbours Leicester City, it now looks like manager Steve Cooper could be leaving the City Ground. The bookmakers have him at a very short price to be the 5th manager to leave their clubs.
Pre-season Steve Cooper was at 14/1 to be the first manager to leave, and he was not the first (that honour went to Scott Parker at Bournemouth). We have now seen 4 managers in the EPL not be at the club they were at the start of the season (Parker, Tuchel, Lage, and Potter who moved from Brighton to Chelsea)
