Nottingham Forest have announced the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach.
The Portuguese has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at the City Ground following Tuesday's sacking of Steve Cooper.
Nuno, who will take charge for Saturday's clash with Bournemouth, returns to English football after a two-year absence following his exit from Tottenham Hotspur.
He has been out of work since leaving Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad in November and takes over at Forest with the club five points above the relegation zone.
The 49-year-old replaces Cooper, who lost his job after a run of one win in 13 Premier League matches.
Nuno's spell with Tottenham was a huge disappointment, with the team scoring just 22 goals in 17 matches before being sacked.
