Nottingham Forest part ways with manager Nuno Espirito Santo | OneFootball

This Monday, Nottingham Forest announced the dismissal of coach Nuno Espírito Santo. The 51-year-old Portuguese leaves the club after nearly two years in charge.

The Forest "thanks Nuno for his contribution during a very successful period at City Ground, especially for his role in the 2024/25 season, which will forever be etched in the club's history," said the club in an official statement.

Nuno thus becomes the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season, two weeks after admitting that his relationship with the club owner, Evangelos Marinakis, had deteriorated.

"Our relationship has changed and we are no longer as close. Everyone at the club should support us, but that is not the case," he lamented.

The Portuguese took over the team in December 2023, succeeding Steve Cooper, and managed to save the team from relegation. Last season, Nottingham Forest finished seventh in the Premier League, their best ranking since the 1994/95 season.

The club also managed to take Crystal Palace's spot in the Europa League, as the London club had been relegated by UEFA to the Conference League due to the multi-ownership rule.

Nottingham Forest currently holds the 10th position in the Premier League after three rounds, having lost 3-0 to West Ham in Nuno Espírito Santo's last game as coach.

According to British media reports, negotiations for the appointment of a successor have already begun. Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou, is among the candidates.
