Nottingham Forest sacks Nuno Espirito Santo, Postecoglou expected to replace

Nottingham Forest has sacked head coach Nuno Espirito Santo after just three games into the 2025 season, following a public and deteriorating relationship with club owner Evangelos Marinakis. Despite leading Forest to a historic seventh-place finish and Europa League qualification last season, tensions arose over transfer business and management style, culminating in Marinakis deciding to relieve Nuno of his duties without the scheduled peace talks. Ange Postecoglou, recently dismissed by Tottenham despite winning their first trophy in 17 years, is the leading candidate to replace Nuno and is expected to bring an attacking style of football to the City Ground. Other contenders for the role include Jose Mourinho, Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola, Mauricio Pochettino, and Marco Silva. Postecoglou's appointment could be finalized imminently, possibly in time for Forest's Premier League match against Arsenal. Nottingham Forest praised Nuno for his contributions during a successful period but acknowledged the need for change to continue their progress in both domestic and European competitions.
