In a statement posted on their website a Nottingam Forest spokesperson said: “Nottingham Forest Football Club confirms that, following recent circumstances, Nuno Espírito Santo has today been relieved of his duties as Head Coach.
“The Club thanks Nuno for his contribution during a very successful era at the City Ground, in particular his role in the 2024/25 season, which will forever be remembered fondly in the history of the Club. As someone who played a pivotal role in our success last season, he will always hold a special place in our journey.”
Nuno, who took over from Steve Cooper in December 2023, expressed his concerns over the summer transfer window ahead of Forest’s opening game of the campaign and said that they had a “major problem” and were “very, very far from where we should be.”
