Nottingham Forest reportedly offered Torino manager Ivan Juric a 'mountain of money' to replace Steve Cooper last year.
Forest went through a difficult period at the start of their Premier League campaign, and were struggling to pick up results. Head coach Cooper was under pressure, especially after the 4-0 defeat at Leicester City made it five defeats in a row, leaving the Reds bottom of the Premier League table, back in October.
The likes of Rafa Benitez and Sean Dyche were linked as potential replacements for Cooper. Juric was also linked and a new report from Firenze Viola claims that Forest approached him towards the end of autumn.

Forest are claimed to have offered Juric a 'mountain of money' which he apparently refused because he 'wants to stay in Serie A'.
