The pair communicate regularly and despite Marinakis&#8217; exacting nature, their relationship is largely good.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Forest would not be where they are now without Marinakis&#8217; ambitious investment and he has finally found a coach to make the most of it.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper was also spotted at dinner in Nottingham with Callum Hudson-Odoi, a member of his England Under-17 squad that won the World Cup in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hudson-Odoi was one of seven new signings on transfer deadline day and has turned to Cooper to revive a career that has drifted since Bayern Munich wanted to sign the 22-year-old from Chelsea in January 2019 and hand him the No 10 shirt.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper likes to hold regular meetings with all his players and will often speak to them over FaceTime or voice calls to gauge their mood and what makes them tick.<\/p>\n<p>He also joined members of Nottingham Forest&#8217;s European Cup winners for one of their weekly Thursday lunches and spent time replying to some of the letters he receives from Forest supporters. Cooper makes a point of trying to respond to every one.<\/p>\n<p>It is at Forest&#8217;s training base \u2013 the Nigel Doughty Academy on the outskirts of the city \u2013 where Cooper really comes alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524837-12528155-image-a-31_1694943697006.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cooper congratulates Anthony Elanga on his winning goal at Stamford Bridge this month<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524879-12528155-image-a-32_1694943811985.jpg\" height=\"443\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Callum Hudson-Odoi, who won the Under-17 World Cup for England under Cooper in 2017, is the latest brought to the City Ground to try and revive his career<\/p>\n<h3>Forest fixtures\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>Monday<\/span> Burnley (H)<\/p>\n<p><span>Saturday<\/span> Manchester City (A)<\/p>\n<p><span>October 1<\/span> Brentford (H)<\/p>\n<p><span>October 7<\/span> Crystal Palace (A)<\/p>\n<p><span>October 21 <\/span>Luton Town (H)<\/p>\n<p><span>October 29<\/span> Liverpool (A)<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He started his coaching career early and he has worked incredibly hard in that period to fine-tune his process,&#8217; says Coventry defender Jake Bidwell, who played for Cooper at Swansea from 2019-2021. &#8216;He has so much confidence in it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Nine times out of 10 if we lost a game it was because we did not carry out the plan. On a Monday you would go to training knowing exactly how the week would look.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Nothing shocked us. He had always done that much homework that he could predict exactly what was going to happen in a certain game. He took my game to the next level.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Many players would say the same. Brennan Johnson \u2013 sold to Tottenham for \u00a347.5million this summer \u2013 and Ryan Yates are two Forest academy products to thrive under Cooper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brazilian midfielder Danilo found the pace of the English game a little tricky in central midfield, so the coaches used him in a more advanced role.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Danilo would play a crucial part in Forest&#8217;s survival last term, scoring three goals in as many matches in the run-in.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524741-12528155-image-a-33_1694943848490.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cooper has fully engaged with Forest fans and makes a point of replying to every single letter<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524915-12528155-image-a-34_1694943904539.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Having stayed up last season, Forest will aim to enjoy a more comfortable top-flight season<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi speaks glowingly of Cooper, who also had a key influence on fellow England international Conor Gallagher, as well as James Garner, Djed Spence and Rhian Brewster. The list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper leads training, marching about among his players directing operations. He was fully behind the owners&#8217; move to invest \u00a32m in new pitches at the training ground, while dressing rooms and meeting rooms both there and at the City Ground have been upgraded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524933-12528155-image-m-37_1694943977294.jpg\" height=\"508\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Cooper&#8217;s meticulous approach is paying dividends at the City Ground<\/p>\n<p>There is also a greater emphasis on nutrition than in the past as Cooper and sporting director Ross Wilson seek to instil a Premier League mentality across the club.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper and his team are at the training ground early and after sessions are complete, they will review them and prepare for the games ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These analyses are usually divided into four categories \u2013 in possession; out of possession; transitions; and set pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Meetings are a vital part of Cooper&#8217;s approach and he will speak individually to his players and staff as often as he can.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His attention is not focused solely on the training ground, either. During the week, Cooper will visit the City Ground to pop into the club shop and greet office staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is not done for effect: Cooper has taken Forest to his heart and even thinks about what the club could do to make the matchday experience for fans even better.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Cooper thinks of little else beyond family and football. With his family still living near Wrexham, the 43-year-old spends most of his weeks at his East Midlands base.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cooper will work well into the evenings and devotes the majority of that time to watching matches.<\/p>\n<p>Three concepts \u2013 belief, self-worth, and ownership \u2013 underpin his work, and Cooper found them in short supply when he joined Forest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524943-12528155-image-a-38_1694944033944.jpg\" height=\"421\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Forest are double European champions &#8211; a past that has burdened Cooper&#8217;s predecessors but one he has chosen to embrace by meeting club legends regularly for lunch<\/p>\n<p>Yet from day one, he resolved to see the job as an opportunity rather than a burden.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead of recoiling from the history, why not embrace it? Instead of worrying about other managers who had failed, why not be the one who turned it around? The owners were committed to invest heavily. Why not make good use of it?<\/p>\n<p>The result was a barnstorming campaign that ended in promotion via the play-offs. After Cooper arrived, Forest picked up more points, scored more goals and conceded fewer than any other side in the Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The frayed bond with supporters was stitched back together, and the remarkable atmosphere at the City Ground drove Forest to crucial points so often last season.<\/p>\n<p>What is Cooper&#8217;s ultimate aim for Forest? Take a look at that Under-17 World Cup victory in India With current Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White in the team alongside Phil Foden, Hudson-Odoi and Guehi, England crushed Spain 5-2 in the Final, playing spectacular football.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524959-12528155-image-a-39_1694944143832.jpg\" height=\"404\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Elanga&#8217;s goal split the teams as Forest won 1-0 away to Chelsea before the internationals<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/10\/75524913-12528155-image-a-40_1694944165530.jpg\" height=\"381\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Winning at Stamford Bridge supplied more happy memories for the Nottingham Forest fans<\/p>\n<p>Pep Guardiola is thought to have followed the tournament closely and it is intriguing to note that Cooper also used Foden in a wide attacking role.<\/p>\n<p>That performance is the blueprint for how Cooper would like to play. In Forest&#8217;s position, it is not always possible, and they stayed up by becoming an effective counter-attacking side. That style also delivered the win at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>But the current squad offers Cooper new possibilities. There is more scope to tweak formations and play more progressively, especially at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As he prepares his team to take on Burnley on Monday, Cooper is only just getting started.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12528155\/Meticulous-planning-replies-single-fan-letter-embracing-clubs-glorious-past-Steve-Cooper-taken-Nottingham-Forest-fearing-League-One-drop-beating-Chelsea-Premier-League-just-two-years.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meticulous planning, replies to every single fan letter and embracing the club&#8217;s glorious past&#8230;
