Nuno Espirito Santo has been appointed Nottingham Forest’s new manager, replacing Steve Cooper, on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Here, the PA news agency looks at what we might expect at the City Ground under the former Wolves and Tottenham boss. Nuno likes to work with a small squad.

At Wolves he capped it at around 22 players to ensure every member of the team felt like they had a chance of playing. With Forest’s bloated squad it will be interesting to see how the new manager handles it and whether he feels the need to trim in January.
