Forest confirm departure of coaching staff

Nottingham Forest have confirmed more departures from the first-team coaching set-up.

After Steve Cooper was sacked on Tuesday, assistant coach Alan Tate has also left the club, along with first-team goalkeeping coach Danny Alcock and head of sport science David Tivey.

Forest say the trio leave with the club's best wishes, adding: "We extend our thanks to them for their incredible contribution during their time at the City Ground."

First-team coach Steven Reid and head of performance analysis Steve Rands will both remain at the club, and discussions will be held soon with Andy Reid.
