Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has turned down two Premier League jobs

Steve Cooper has apparently turned down two Premier League jobs whilst he’s been at Nottingham Forest.

The Reds incumbent has been at the City Ground since 2021, leading Forest to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.

Cooper has come under pressure, according to some reports, following Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Brighton.

The head coach was thought to be left fuming with Robert De Zerbi who celebrated wildly at the full-time whistle.

Forest boss Cooper has rejected Premier League jobs

According to the Daily Mail, the work done by Cooper at Forest hasn’t gone unnoticed in the Premier League.

It’s claimed that he’s rejected two Premier League offers during his time at the City Ground.

The identity of the clubs hasn’t been revealed in the article but in fairness, it doesn’t come as a surprise.

Cooper has only held two jobs in club management. He led Swansea to the cusp of the top-flight before finally making it with Forest.

If Forest part company with Cooper, you can bet your bottom dollar that he won’t be out of work for long.

Some of the football that his team played in the play-off winning campaign was simply mesmerising at times.

Okay, the Premier League has proved a struggle at times but he’s still relatively young when it comes to management.

Forest shouldn’t be daring to roll the dice and part with Cooper whilst there isn’t really an outstanding candidate to replace him.

Cooper is likely to still have some credit in the bank and Forest aren’t in immediate danger of being in the bottom three.

The Reds have a winnable run of games on the horizon and the fact that Premier League teams have looked at him should tell the hierarchy everything.
