Steve Cooper guided Nottingham Forest to the Premier League in 2022 and he’s seen his side manage only six league wins from 27 matches this season.
This sees the Tricky Trees sit in 16th spot, two points ahead of 18th placed West Ham United, who have a game in hand.
Cooper’s future at Nottingham Forest could be in danger, considering they have made an attempt to replace him, according to Cope.
The English club are said to have approached Marcelino García Toral. It’s explained thy made a ‘great offer’ to the Spaniard to ‘take immediate charge’ of the club.
The 57-year-old has been without a job since he left Athletic Club Bilbao at the end of last season. He has now rejected Nottingham Forest’s offer because the coach doesn’t intend to take charge of a team midway through the season.
Marcelino is aiming to join a new club in the summer, when it will be easier to start a new project with a full season ahead of him.
Apart from Nottingham Forest, Cope state Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton have knocked on Marcelino’s door.
How much of this is true and how much is PR for the manager, is unclear.
