Owner Evangelos Marinakis: Steve Cooper has been sacked as Nottingham Forest head coach, following a spell of over two years in charge, the Premier League club said.

The 44-year-old has been dismissed after a run of one win in 13 matches and five defeats in the last six. It has left Forest 17th in the Premier League, only five points above 18th-placed Luton Town, who have played a match fewer.

Cooper's final match in charge was a 2-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last Friday.
