NOTTINGHAM, England — Nottingham Forest has hired Nuno Espírito Santo as its manager as the Premier League club moved quickly to replace Steve Cooper. Nuno previously managed Wolverhampton and Tottenham in England's top division. He has signed a 2 1/2-year contract. Most recently the Portuguese coached Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad and won a league and cup double last season. Forest fired Cooper on Tuesday after a run of one win in 13 league games saw the club drop to fourth-to-last place in the table.
