Nottingham Forest fans rave over Steve Cooper's first big decision as head coach

Nottingham Forest have confirmed that Steven Reid will remain on the coaching staff at the City Ground - and it has won universal praise from the fans.

The Reds announced Reid would be staying at the club as part of the coaching set-up at the Championship club after Steve Cooper was confirmed as head coach this week.

Usually, new managers like to change their backroom staff and with Reid being brought in by Chris Hughton many felt he could be heading for the exit.

But Reid, who steered the Reds to their first win of the season at Huddersfield Town last weekend, will be staying put at Forest where he is becoming a popular figure among supporters.

Reds fans are delighted he is remaining and here's what they had to say on Twitter...

Steve Gibson: "Good news. Players seemed to play for him and looks like a likeable guy."

Castus the Red: "Spoke really well post-match as well."

Julie Ann Pither: "That’s great news."

Jay: "Fantastic, well deserved!!!"

DFWalters1947: "That is really good to see Forest keeping Steven Reid on in the coaching staff."

John Patching: "Excellent."

Chris U: "Fully deserved. To take charge with a day to sort the players and change of formation."

Owen Summers: "Lovely stuff Forest, roll on Saturday!"

NottinghamRed99: "I know that it was only one game but I'm really pleased to hear that Steven Reid is staying. The way that he conducted himself following Hughton's sacking and the performance that he got out of the side so suddenly to stop the rot... First class."
