"Nottingham Forest Football Club confirms that, following recent circumstances, Nuno Espirito Santo has today been relieved of his duties as head coach, said a club statement in the early hours of Tuesday morning. 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."
"Nuno's tenure at the City Ground was highly successful, the Portuguese steering Forest to safety in his first season after replacing Steve Cooper in December 2023. The following season, he led the team on an unexpected push for Champions League qualification, spending much of the campaign in the top four. Forest finished seventh, securing a Conference League spot which became a Europa League place when Crystal Palace were demoted by Uefa."
Nottingham Forest have parted company with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo after one year and eight months, following reported tensions with owner Evangelos Marinakis over the past fortnight. The club confirmed Nuno has been relieved of his duties and thanked him for his contribution, especially his role in the 2024-25 season. Nuno acknowledged that his relationship with Marinakis deteriorated over the summer, saying: 'I cannot say that is the same...' He took charge in December 2023, steered Forest to safety, then led an unexpected Champions League push the following season, finishing seventh and securing European competition.
