Nottingham Forest have dismissed Nuno Espirito Santo with immediate effect after weeks of mounting tension. Nuno leaves after less than two years, a spell that combined notable successes with disagreements with club leadership.

Ownership and sporting directors favour a progressive, attack-minded appointment.
