Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the club.

Nuno, who replaced Steve Cooper in December 2023, guided Forest to a seventh-place Premier League finish and the FA Cup semi-finals during his first full season at the City Ground.

Forest had been in contention for Champions League qualification for most of the campaign, but had to settle for a place in the Conference League after winning just two of their final seven games.

Nevertheless, it was enough to ensure the club would feature on the continent for the first time since 1995-96.

“I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football club,” Nuno told Forest’s official club website.

“Since we arrived at Forest, we have worked extremely hard to create a special bond between the players, the fans and everyone at the club, which helped us achieve great things last season.”

Nuno’s future was reportedly uncertain after he was confronted by owner Evangelos Marinakis on the pitch following Forest’s 2-2 draw with Leicester City last month.

However, he has ended that speculation by extending his stay at the City Ground.

“Nuno has made a great impact and performed very well during his time with us so far,” Marinakis said.

“He has demonstrated that he maximises player performance and is an expert at developing players, whilst also embedding our young talent into the first team set-up.

“We enjoy a strong and solid relationship together and, above all, we share the same dream and ambition of writing a new history for Nottingham Forest, competing in the Premier League and in Europe and winning trophies for our great club.”

Former Wolves boss Nuno has overseen 70 games in charge of Forest, winning 27 of those (38.6%). He has averaged 1.47 points per game in the Premier League.
