Nottingham Forest Owner Marinakis Denies Rift With Manager Nuno Espirito Santo

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has publicly affirmed his strong and solid relationship with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo amid widespread speculation about the manager's future. Despite acknowledged tensions and a deterioration in communication this season, both Marinakis and Nuno have emphasized their commitment to the club and to resolving issues during upcoming talks, particularly during the international break. Nuno has been candid about frustrations, including concerns over transfer activity and his strained rapport with recently appointed head of football Edu, but insists he has no regrets over his honesty and remains focused on the team's success. Marinakis reiterated that both good and difficult times have brought them closer, and corrective actions are planned to ensure stability moving forward. The club's return to European competition this season, with matches against Porto, Real Betis, and Malmo, adds to the importance of maintaining unity within the team and management. Both parties appear determined to continue their partnership and seek clarity on the club's vision as Nottingham Forest aims to build on recent successes.
