Nottingham Forest sacked manager Steve Cooper on the 19th of December, 2023, after 27 months in the position. 

Most football watchers know a manager's shelf life is limited, and Chairman Evangelos Marinakis decided that a change at the top was needed. 

Former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo was appointed a day later and will be in the dugout for the game at home to Bournemouth.

Forest sit in 17th place in the EPL, and he must hit the ground running to keep the East Midlands side in the top tier.  

If another managerial change comes, The next manager to be Sacked blog may offer clues about who is available, with the leading bookmakers offering all the next Nottingham Forest Manager odds.

Who Will Be The Next Nottingham Forest Manager

Let's take a look at possible contenders to be the next Nottingham Forest manager. We looked at previous bookie list the last time the position was vacant and some of the the following names featured towards the top of the market.

Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard headed the next Nottingham Forest manager betting when Steve Cooper looked like he was exiting the City Ground in April 2023. The Villa job looked a good fit after his success in Scotland at Glasgow Rangers, but he often could not name the same team from week to week, and there was no distinct style of play. In 2023 he was appointed to the Saudi Arabian side, Al Ettifaq.

The Former Arsenal and French midfielder left Crystal Palace in March 2023. His reputation took a knock in South London, where his team was deemed unwilling or unable to harness their most creative players, something the new manager Roy Hodgson instantly changed. In September of the same year Vieira returned to France to take charge of Ligue 1 side Strasbourg. 

Rafa Benitez

If relegation becomes an ongoing issue at Nottingham Forest, there are few better at steadying the ship than Rafa Benitez; he has now managed four EPL clubs: Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Newcastle United

Pedro Martins

Pedro Martins had a successful period at Olympiacos, winning the Greek Super League three years on the bounce ( 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22) and the Greek Cup in the 2019/20 season. Because the owner of Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos is the same person, Evangelos Marinakis, the bookies regularly include Martins in their next Nottingham Forest manager betting market. He left Olympiacos in August 2022, having been in charge for over four years. Al-Gharafa SC in Qatar is Martins's latest managerial position, but many expect him to return to European football when a suitable vacancy arrives.

Next Forest Manager Betting Diary

The betting odds for The Next Nottingham Forest Manager will see plenty of speculation if things do not work out for the man appointed in December 2023 - Nuno Espirito Santo.

Here is a round-up of the Next Nottingham Forest Manager Betting News from our OLBG News feed

1st November 2022

The new deal that Steve Cooper was offered in October has made his position more secure, however, the win over Liverpool was followed by a heavy defeat by the leader's Arsenal. 

Forest currently sits in 20th position with relegation looking likely. 

24th October 2022

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is now out to 14/1 to be the next manager to leave the Premier League. This is due to the fact that he just signed a new contract at Forest despite the rumours around his dismissal over the last couple of months.

Forest had a massive win on Saturday against Liverpool with Cooper's men winning 1-0 in a game where goalkeeper Dean Henderson was on fire.

4th October 2022

After a whopping 4-0 defeat to neighbours Leicester City, it now looks like manager Steve Cooper could be leaving the City Ground. The bookmakers have him at a very short price to be the 5th manager to leave their clubs.

Pre-season Steve Cooper was at 14/1 to be the first manager to leave, and he was not the first (that honour went to Scott Parker at Bournemouth). We have now seen 4 managers in the EPL not be at the club they were at the start of the season (Parker, Tuchel, Lage,  and Potter who moved from Brighton to Chelsea)
