Nottingham Forest Reportedly Considering Sacking Coach Nuno Espirito Santo Amid Tensions

Nottingham Forest's head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly at risk of being sacked despite leading the team to a 3-1 victory over Brentford in the opening game of the Premier League season. Sources close to the club have dismissed some of the speculation, but tensions between Nuno and club owner Evangelos Marinakis reportedly stem from disagreements over summer transfer signings and the squad's current shape. Nuno publicly expressed concerns about the squad's preparation and composition, citing that the plans had not worked out and that some players were expected to leave on loan. Despite signing a new three-year contract this summer, Marinakis is reportedly evaluating other coaching options amidst these tensions. Nottingham Forest has been active in the transfer market, investing heavily in new players including Douglas Luiz, Omari Hutchinson, Dan Ndoye, and James McAtee. Both the club owner and Nuno share ambitions for competing in Europe and achieving success, but recent disagreements have cast uncertainty over Nuno’s future at the club.
