last in the standings, Nottingham announces … the extension of its coach

Author of a very lively summer transfer window in the direction of arrivals, Nottingham Forest is in last place in the Premier League standings. Coach Steve Cooper still retains the confidence of his leaders who extended his contract until 2025.
