Nuno Espírito Santo out at Forest 3 video games into season

Nottingham Forest have parted methods with supervisor Nuno Espírito Santo, the membership have confirmed.

The announcement comes simply three video games into the Premier League season.

“Nottingham Forest Football Club confirms that, following recent circumstances, Nuno Espírito Santo has today been relieved of his duties as Head Coach,” the membership said in a statement. “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 somebody who performed a pivotal function in our success final season, he’ll at all times maintain a particular place in our journey.”

After taking over from Steve Cooper in December 2023, Nuno steered Forest away from relegation that season before leading them to a seventh-place finish last term, earning European qualification for the first time in 30 years.

Forest will play in the Europa League this season, having replaced Crystal Palace in the competition following the London club’s demotion to the UEFA Conference League over multi-club ownership rules.

However, despite guiding the club back to European football and signing a new three-year deal in June, Nuno will not be a part of the campaign.

Doubt was cast over the Portuguese manager’s future earlier in the season when he said he was “not shut” with club owner Evangelos Marinakis, and that their “relationship had modified.”

“Where there’s smoke, there’s hearth, so I understand how issues work, however I’m right here to do my job,” Nuno mentioned on the time.

Forest face a visit to Arsenal after the worldwide break on Sept. 13.
