Nottingham Forest considering SACKING Nuno Espirito Santo over transfer disagreements with replacements already being discussed

Ahead of the new Premier League season, Forest boss Nuno said the squad was "very far off" where it needed to be and that they had a "big problem". Now, journalist Matteo Moretto claims Forest are considering dismissing the former Wolves manager amid 'tensions' between the ownership, some of which stems from 'certain signings' during this transfer window.

If Forest were to sack Nuno, that would be a hugely unpopular decision amongst the club's fanbase. The Tricky Trees, who are 'already evaluating other coaches', are set to play in the Europa League this term after a brilliant 2024-25 season but that may not be enough to save the Portuguese from the wrath of owner Evangelos Marinakis. 

Forest have spent around €175 million (£151m) on players this summer, with Douglas Luiz also arriving on loan on Thursday. Incidentally, the 51-year-old has a 39.44 win percentage at Forest since taking over in December 2023, chalking up 28 wins, 19 draws, and 24 losses.

Forest, who won their Premier League opener against Brentford 3-1 last weekend, travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday in their next league fixture. Whether Nuno will be in charge for much longer remains to be seen.
