Nottingham Forest have appointed a set-piece coach in a bid to fix one of their major issues.

The Premier League strugglers are looking to get themselves further away from the relegation zone.

Forest have been unable to keep out teams on set pieces, while they are struggling to score from their corners and free kicks.

Per Nottinghamshire Live, Forest have brought in Simon Rusk to their backroom staff.

Manager Steve Cooper previously said on the matter: “We have tried to bring a set-piece coach in since the summer. I changed quite a lot of stuff in the summer to do with our coaching model and how we can evolve.

“You are always looking for little bits of improvement, and one of those was to bring a set-piece coach in. We've been really close to bringing someone in. There will be coaches who will think differently and some who think the same as me, but I believe it is a specialist area now and you do need to pay the attention to it."
