Nottingham Forest fans rage at Steve Cooper after Leicester manager update
Nottingham Forest fans have fumed at former boss Steve Cooper, who has emerged as the favourite to take over at Leicester.
As reported by talkSPORT, Cooper has held initial talks about taking over at the King Power after Enzo Maresca left to join Chelsea.
However, the rivalry between the clubs has led fans to insist the boss will target his legacy at the City Ground if he makes the switch to join the Foxes.
Cooper has been out of work since his dismissal at Forest in December 2023 despite previous links with other jobs, and could now be in line to become Leicester boss.

After joining Forest in 2021, the Welsh boss led them to promotion from the Championship and helped to establish the team in the Premier League before his dismissal.
Despite Cooper previously speaking about how much the club meant to him and how much he loves the city, fans are now insisting he was simply getting fans on his side.
Other supporters, meanwhile, insisted they would boo him upon his return to the City Ground.
One even suggested the fanbase could go into meltdown as a result.
In other news, a new takeover update has emerged at Everton.
