Nottingham Forest are weighing up sacking manager Nuno Espirito Santo amid tensions between the club's ownership and the coach, linked to disagreements over summer signings and squad preparation. The squad is described as very far off, with plans that did not work out and unclear composition including players likely to leave on loan. The club is evaluating other managerial options while the team prepares for Europa League football. The manager delivered a strong season that pushed Forest toward the top four before a late drop to seventh, and fan reaction to a possible dismissal could be negative.
Tensions between the ownership and the Portuguese coach, also stemming from certain signings during this transfer window. This is what Nuno told Sky Sports a week ago: We are very far off in terms of the squad. The plans we had didn't work out. The preparation in terms of the squad was not ideal. We don't know what squad we have. We have players working here who know they are going out on loan. We have a big problem.'
Although Nuno has done a good job with Forest, it seems his future is now in serious doubt. One imagines there'll be a fair few fans who are unhappy about this, with the Portuguese tactician doing a hugely impressive job to get the club challenging for the top four last season. Some poor end-of-season performances saw the team ultimately drop to 7th in the table, but they're still set to play Europa League football this term.
