Following Nottingham Forest’s remarkable run, Nuno is named Manager of the Month
Nuno Espirito Santo was today rewarded for Nottingham Forest’s brilliant performances of late by being named Premier League Manager of the Month for December.
Forest have enjoyed five wins this month and are now in third place, just six points behind Liverpool, after a 3-0 win at Wolves on Monday.
The East Midlands club was expected to be embroiled in a relegation battle this season but is now fighting for at least a place in the top four and a place in the Champions League.
After opening December with defeat at Manchester City, Forest went on to beat Manchester United, Aston Villa, Brentford, Tottenham and Everton.
They face Luton in the FA Cup tomorrow.
