Super Eagles duo Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina will play under a new manager at Nottingham Forest following the appointment of Nuno Espírito Santo.

The Portuguese takes over from Steve Cooper who was fired due to run of poor results.

“Nottingham Forest can today confirm the appointment of Nuno Espírito Santo as first team head coach,” Forest said in a statement released on Wednesday.

“Nuno joins the club on a two-and-a-half-year contract and will take charge of his first match on Saturday when Forest face Bournemouth at The City Ground.

“The 49-year-old arrives with a wealth of experience having managed over 460 games in his career, including in the Premier League, La Liga, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

“Nuno began his managerial career at Rio Ave, guiding the Portuguese side to two cup finals and qualification to the Europa League for the first time in their history
