Nuno Espirito Santo Fired As Manager Of Forest
Nottingham Forest has parted ways with Nuno Espirito Santo as manager.
Nuno\'s relationship with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis had deteriorated in recent weeks.
“I have always had a very good relationship with the owner, last season was very, very close, almost on a daily basis,” Nuno told a press conference. “This season, not so well.”
Forest appointed Edu as global head of football at the start of July, which was anticipated to create a rift. Forest hired Nuno as manager in December 2023.
The full statement from the club, posted on their social media, read: “Nottingham Forest Football Club confirms that, following recent circumstances, Nuno Espírito Santo has today been relieved of his duties as Head Coach.
“The Club thanks Nuno for his contribution during a very successful era at The City Ground, in particular his role in the 2024/25 season, which will forever be remembered fondly in the history of the Club. As someone who played a pivotal role in our success last season, he will always hold a special place in our journey.”
