Nottingham Forest Sacks Nuno Amid Ownership Power Struggle

Nuno Espirito Santo was dismissed as Nottingham Forest manager after a period of growing tension with club owner Evangelos Marinakis and new global head of football Edu Gaspar. Despite leading Forest to their highest Premier League finish in 30 years and qualifying for Europe, Nuno publicly criticized the club's transfer strategy and expressed frustration over the lack of squad balance and the disruption caused by Edu's appointment. The relationship between Nuno and the ownership deteriorated significantly, culminating in heated exchanges and public statements that strained his position. Nuno's departure follows a summer marked by internal conflicts, including differences in recruitment philosophy and dissatisfaction with the club's direction under new management. His tenure saw Forest outperform several top clubs, but ongoing disagreements ultimately led to his exit, leaving the club to continue under new leadership. The situation reflects broader challenges related to multi-club ownership and management dynamics within Forest and its sister club Olympiacos.
