The coaching carousel never stops spinning, and it looks like Nottingham Forest is the latest club getting a new spin. Nuno Espírito Santo is set to exit as the team’s manager, sources confirmed to Record. We expect an official announcement about the Portuguese coach’s departure sometime today.
This move doesn’t come as a huge shock to those paying close attention. Nuno’s relationship with Evangelos Marinakis, the club owner, has been on shaky ground for a while. As a matter of fact, NES himself admitted to those issues back in August. It seems that partnership just couldn’t weather the storm.
Right now, Nottingham Forest sits in 10th place in the Premier League table. They’ve only picked up four points from their first three matches. While not a disaster, perhaps this early season form added fuel to the existing fire between the manager and the man in charge.
Now the rumor mill is buzzing, as it always does. English newspapers are tossing out some interesting names for who might step into Nuno’s shoes. Ange Postecoglou is one, a Greek-Australian manager who shares nationality with Marinakis – a connection that often sparks speculation. José Mourinho’s name is in the mix too, a familiar face in the league. And don’t forget Brendan Rodgers, currently managing Celtic, but reports suggest he’s keen on a return to English football. The hunt for the next Forest boss is officially on.
