Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo could potentially be on his way out of the City Ground at the end of the current season, with reports indicating growing internal tensions between the Portuguese coach and club owner Evangelos Marinakis.
This comes despite Nuno having guided Forest to a strong season that has put them in contention for European football.
According to @footmercato and @Santi_J_FM, the relationship between the two has become strained, creating uncertainty around Nuno’s long-term future, even though his current contract runs until June 2026.
Recent incidents, including Marinakis’s animated presence on the pitch following a draw against Leicester, have fueled speculation, though the club officially stated this was due to concern for an injured Taiwo Awoniyi rather than a direct confrontation.
Adding another layer to the unfolding saga, AS Roma have reportedly entered the race for Nuno’s services.
@relevo reports that the Italian club contacted the Portuguese coach yesterday and offered him a two-year contract.
Roma are said to be keen on appointing Nuno to lead an ambitious project aimed at building a team capable of competing at the top of Serie A.
While Nuno has achieved remarkable success since taking over Forest in December 2023, steering them to a significantly improved league position and earning multiple Manager of the Month awards, the reported discord with the owner and the concrete offer from a major European club like Roma could sway his decision.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining Nuno Espírito Santo’s next move.
