The Club thanks Nuno for his contribution during a very successful period at the City Ground, particularly for his role in the 2024/25 season, which will forever be fondly remembered in the Club”s history, the official Nottingham Forest note.
At the root of the divorce an irremediable rift with patron Marinakis. The’now former coach had highlighted the problems with the club’s top management, perhaps because of different visions on the market (spent over 230 million euros, among the arrivals also Ndoye, Savona and the quoted Douglas Luiz, also former Juventus).
