Nottingham Forest boss Nuno signs new three-year contract
The 51-year-old led Forest to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League last season A late slump in form saw them settle for a place in the Europa Conference League LONDON: Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo was rewarded for guiding his side into Europe by signing a new three-year contract on Saturday. The 51-year-old led Forest to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League last season, securing European qualification for the first time since the 1995/96 season. After battling relegation for much of their first two campaigns back in the Premier League after a 23-year absence, Forest were on course to qualify for the Champions League last season. A late slump in form saw them settle for a place in the Europa Conference League instead and included a flashpoint when owner Evangelos Marinakis confronted Nuno on the pitch after a 2-2 draw against relegated Leicester. Former Manchester United captain and leading pundit Gary Neville said the Portuguese coach should have resigned in protest at that incident. However, the former Wolves and Tottenham boss has committed his future to the City Ground and thanked Marinakis for his support since he was appointed in December 2023. “I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football club,” Nuno said in a club statement. “Since we arrived at Forest, we have worked extremely hard to create a special bond between the players, the fans and everyone at the club, which helped us achieve great things last season. “I would like to thank our owner, Mr.Marinakis, for his constant support and backing.
