Nottingham, June 9, 2024 — Nottingham Forest’s Assistant Head Coach, Andy Reid, has unexpectedly terminated his contract with the club, citing personal reasons. The announcement, made early this morning, has taken fans and the football community by surprise.
Reid, a former Forest player and a respected figure in the football world, has been an integral part of the coaching staff since joining the team in 2021. Under his guidance, Nottingham Forest has seen significant development, particularly among its younger players, reflecting Reid’s deep understanding of the game and his commitment to nurturing talent.
In a brief statement released by the club, Reid expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve in his role but emphasized the need to step back for personal reasons. “It is with a heavy heart that I announce my departure from Nottingham Forest. This decision was not made lightly, but I must prioritize my personal well-being and that of my family at this time. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together and wish the club continued success.”
Nottingham Forest’s Head Coach, Steve Cooper, also commented on Reid’s departure, praising his colleague’s contributions. “Andy has been a tremendous asset to our coaching team. His expertise, passion, and dedication have greatly benefited the club. While we are saddened to see him go, we fully support his decision and wish him all the best.”
The club has yet to announce a replacement for Reid, and the search for a new assistant head coach is expected to commence immediately. Nottingham Forest reassured fans that preparations for the upcoming season remain on track, and the team is committed to building on last season’s progress.
Reid’s departure marks the end of a significant chapter for Nottingham Forest, but the club remains optimistic about its future. Fans and players alike have expressed their support and best wishes for Reid during this transition.
Further updates will be provided by the club as the situation develops.
