Nuno Espirito Santo has been named new manager of Nottingham Forest.

Nuno takes charge at the City Ground after the sacking of Steve Cooper this week.

The Portuguese, former manager of Tottenham and Wolves, became available after his dismissal at Al-Ittihad.

Nuno joins the club on a two-and-a-half-year contract and will take charge of his first match on Saturday when Forest face Bournemouth at The City Ground.

He will take charge of his first training session this morning.
