In a moment that has sent shockwaves of joy through the City Ground and the wider Premier League community, Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espírito Santo has officially confirmed that club legend Stan Collymore is returning to the organization — this time not as a player, but as the club’s new Senior Coaching Advisor.

The announcement was made during a press conference earlier today, with Nuno praising Collymore’s deep understanding of the club’s culture, attacking philosophy, and winning mentality.

> “Stan knows what this badge means,” Nuno said. “He understands the expectations, the passion of the supporters, and the history that makes this club special. His experience and insight will be invaluable to our attacking players.”

Collymore, who famously led Forest’s frontline during the 1990s and remains one of the most iconic strikers in the club’s modern era, expressed his pride at returning to the City Ground in a new capacity.

> “Nottingham Forest gave me some of the greatest moments of my career,” Collymore stated. “To come back and contribute to the future of this club is an honour I couldn’t refuse.”

His new role will reportedly focus on mentoring forwards, supporting tactical development in the final third, and working closely with the club’s academy to nurture the next generation of attacking talent.

Fans have already flooded social media with excitement, calling the move a “perfect blend of past and present.” Many supporters believe Collymore’s presence could inspire the current squad as Forest aim to strengthen their Premier League standing and push toward European ambitions.

The return of a legend signals more than just nostalgia — it represents a statement of intent. Under Nuno’s leadership, Forest are not only building for today but reconnecting with the spirit that once made the club one of England’s most feared sides.

As anticipation builds ahead of the next home fixture, one thing is certain: the City Ground will be rocking once again, united by hope, history, and a renewed belief in what lies ahead.
