Nuno Espírito Santo has signed a new three-year contract as Nottingham Forest manager to remain at the City Ground until 2028.
The 51-year-old guided Forest to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League this past season, securing European qualification for the first time since 1995-96.
“I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football club,” Nuno said.
“Since we arrived at Forest, we have worked extremely hard to create a special bond between the players, the fans and everyone at the club, which helped us achieve great things last season.”
Nuno replaced Steve Cooper in December 2023 and kept Forest up, the club surviving on the final day of the 2023-24 season.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis said: “Nuno has made a great impact and performed very well during his time with us so far.
“He has demonstrated that he maximises player performance and is an expert at developing players, whilst also embedding our young talent into the first team set-up.
“We enjoy a strong and solid relationship together and, above all, we share the same dream and ambition of writing a new history for Nottingham Forest, competing in the Premier League and in Europe and winning trophies for our great club.”
Nuno has overseen 70 games in charge of Forest, winning 27 of those (38.6%). He has averaged 1.47 points per game in the Premier League.
