He Forests of Nottinghamt has shown interest in hiring the services of Julen Lopetegui if Steve Cooperthe current coach of ‘Tricky Trees’, will be fired.
Cooper, who promoted the team to the Premier League and retained it last season, are under pressure after losing their last four games and falling to sixteenth position, four points away from relegation. Particularly painful was the 5-0 midweek defeat at Fulham, which may have caused Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis to lose patience.
Cooper’s dismissal could be effective in the coming days if the Nottingham Forest can’t take anything positive this weekend when they visit Molineux Stadium, where they face Wolverhampton Wanderers.
As EFE has learned, Forest’s interest in Lopetegui It’s been coming for a while, but no solid offer yet.
Lopetegui has been free since he left Wolves before the start of the season due to doubts about the project, as the club sold key players in the summer and did not give the Spaniard the replacements he promised, due to a series of complications in ‘ fair financial play.
The former Sevilla player remained in England, waiting for an opportunity to open for a bench and even rejected an offer from Al-Ittihad, after the departure of Nuno Espirito Santo, which would have meant a salary of 18 million euros.
If he arrives at Forest, Lopetegui will become the second Spaniard to coach the double European Cup champions, after Aitor Karanka directed them between January 2018 and January 2019.
