The Buzz: Former Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo appointed the new head coach of Nottingham Forest, as the club parted ways with their former manager Steve Cooper.

What to Expect: The Nottingham Forest fans would be hoping to start afresh after their team's below-par start to the new Premier League season. With Nuno having earlier tasted success in the English top-flight soccer with two back-to-back 7th place finishes with Wolves, Forest fans could gear themselves up for a full-throttle, heart-on-sleeves kind of football.

The Observer's Eye: Having beaten Manchester United thrice in a season and successfully done a double over Manchester City in the 2019-2020 Premier League season, there's no doubt that Nuno has got the X-factor. But, as we saw, during his stint at Spurs, the manager sometimes gets rigid towards the way he thinks. He may sometimes try to pull out something by tweaking players playing in main positions. He also would need backing from Forest's hierarchy in the January transfer window to rescue the club's season.
