• Multiple outlets, citing journalist Matteo Moretto, report Nottingham Forest are considering dismissing Nuno and evaluating alternatives, with Ange Postecoglou listed among potential options.
• Reporters including Ben Jacobs said Marinakis held meetings about Nuno's future, while Sky sources described club figures as baffled by Nuno's comments and questioned whether he will coach on Sunday.
• Bookmakers sharply shortened odds on Nuno being the first Premier League manager to be sacked following his remarks and the fresh reports.
