Evangelos Marinakis is reportedly "highly unlikely" to dismiss Steve Cooper as Nottingham Forest manager.
Cooper has previously been close to the sack this season, before being backed by Marinakis and signing a new long-term deal back in October. But the pressure has remained with Forest sitting in and around the relegation zone, due to being unable to revert the situation to preserve their Premier League status.
According to The Telegraph, Brentford's 2-1 comeback is said to have left Marinakis "furious" after Forest scored the opening goal in the first-half. The Greek was also said to be "seething" with the substitutions, and Cooper's "management of the squad."

However, the newspaper adds is "highly unlikely" that the Welshman will be sacked at a critical stage, with just four games remaining until the end of the season.
The Reds have a huge clash with relegation rivals Southampton at the City Ground on Monday (May 8) before facing Chelsea (A), Arsenal (H) and Crystal Palace (A) on the final day.
