The Tricky Trees will commence a fresh quest for guidance from the sidelines at their home ground, the City Ground, subsequent to the departure of their now former first-team coach, Nuno Espírito Santo.
According to recent reports originating from The Athletic, the 51-year-old Portuguese tactician has been dismissed from his position, concluding his tenure just before reaching the two-year mark with the club.
Despite steering the former two-time kings of Europe back to the prestigious UEFA Champions League, this determination arises in the aftermath of his acknowledgment that the rapport with Forest’s chief, Evangelos Marinakis, had deteriorated.
It has been suggested that Marinakis had been contemplating a shift ever since the aforementioned declarations came to light, while Nuno’s alleged disagreement with Edu contributed further to the underlying strain within the East Midlands club.

At the time of this report, Forest are positioned 10th in the league standings, having accumulated four points from their initial trio of Premier League matches.
