Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo could be on his way out at the end of the current season amid growing tensions with club owner Evangelos Marinakis. Sources close to the club reveal that the relationship between the Portuguese coach and the Greek billionaire has become increasingly strained in recent weeks, primarily due to disagreements over recruitment, team performance, and the club’s long-term direction.
Espírito Santo, who took charge in December 2023, was initially seen as a stabilizing figure following the sacking of Steve Cooper. While he has managed to steer Forest away from immediate relegation danger, performances on the pitch have been inconsistent, leading to frustrations from the ownership.
Marinakis is said to be unhappy with the team’s tactical approach and lack of progress despite significant investment in the squad. The lack of alignment between manager and owner on transfer policy and future planning has intensified discussions behind the scenes.
Although no official statement has been made, insiders suggest a parting of ways is increasingly likely, with both parties prepared to move on. A final decision is expected shortly after the season concludes, as Forest prepares for another crucial summer of rebuilding.
