Overview

  • Nuno told reporters his relationship with Marinakis is "not so good" and said "there is no smoke without fire" regarding reports on his future.
  • Multiple outlets report Forest are considering replacing him, with journalist Matteo Moretto saying the club is evaluating candidates including Ange Postecoglou.
  • Reporting points to a rift with recently appointed global head of football Edu Gaspar over transfer control and strategy.
  • Forest have spent close to £100m this week on James McAtee, Omari Hutchinson, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Douglas Luiz after Nuno’s earlier criticism of squad readiness.
  • Some club-facing reports say senior figures were baffled by Nuno’s public remarks and had not planned an immediate sacking, though doubts persist over whether he will lead the team on Sunday.
