Nottingham Forest have officially parted ways with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, just weeks into the new season. Despite guiding the club to European qualification last year, tensions between Nuno and owner Evangelos Marinakis boiled over this summer. Disputes over transfer strategy, squad size, and the influence of new football chief Edu Gaspar led to a breakdown in trust.².
Forest spent over £200 million in the transfer window, but many signings were reportedly made without Nuno’s input. His public criticism of the club’s recruitment and lack of dialogue with ownership sealed his fate.².
🧠Who’s Next?
The frontrunner to replace Nuno is Ange Postecoglou, former Spurs and Celtic boss, who was spotted at Forest’s training ground and is expected to be announced imminently.⁴. However, USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino is also reportedly admired by Forest’s hierarchy and was considered during the shortlist phase.
Postecoglou’s attacking style could mark a tactical shift, but Pochettino’s name in the mix adds intrigue—especially given his Premier League pedigree and current role with the U.S. national team.
