New Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo wants to build on Steve Cooper\u2019s legacy at the City Ground.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese has returned to English football after two years away following Cooper\u2019s sacking on Tuesday, which came after a run of one win in 13 Premier League games.<\/p>\n

Cooper was the man to end Forest\u2019s 23-year exile from the top flight, taking them from the bottom of the Championship to promotion in nine months, while also delivering generation-defining runs in the FA Cup and League Cup.<\/p>\n

And Nuno, who says that owner Evangelos Marinakis has not put any expectations on him, wants to be the man to take the club to the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t mark ourselves to expectations. That\u2019s a day-to-day process,\u201d he said of his conversation with Marinakis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he told me was that what Steve did here is huge. Getting Forest back in the Premier League is fantastic work. We are trying to improve his legacy, which is amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Steve did here at Forest is amazing \u2013 getting Forest back in the Premier League and keeping Forest in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s normal (to have that popularity) and it shows how good Forest fans are with the respect they showed Steve even when things weren\u2019t going well. That says a lot about our fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nuno returns to work after leaving Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad in November and takes over at Forest with the club five points above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

His last job in English football was at Tottenham, where he lasted just 10 games before being sacked.<\/p>\n

He says he has no regrets about his time in north London and has learned from his time there and a more successful spell at Wolves.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no regrets, it happened,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a pleasure to be at Spurs. Things didn\u2019t go well so we move forwards. But no regrets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learn everything, ourselves everything, you learn everything every day. Different situations.<\/p>\n

I think we have to prove ourselves every day. What I expect is to help, try to transmit my knowledge and work ethic<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we did in Wolves is totally different to what happened at Tottenham. In Saudi Arabia it was a new experience for me, new learning process for me, new culture, so we are always learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have to prove ourselves every day, as players, as coaches, everybody, it is a constant pressure to prove.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I expect is to help, try to transmit my knowledge and work ethic.\u201d<\/p>\n
