Nottingham Forest Sack Nuno Espírito Santo After Short Spell
Nottingham Forest have shocked fans by parting ways with head coach Nuno Espírito Santo early this Tuesday.
Just three games into the 2025–26 Premier League season, the Portuguese manager’s time at the City Ground has come to an abrupt end.
The decision comes after tensions reportedly escalated between Espírito Santo and club owner Evangelos Marinakis, alongside newly appointed Global Head of Football, Edu.
The product has formerly entered investment from Creative UK via the West Midlands IP Fund, icing strong support for the design.
With the involvement of the original generators’ estates and a devoted product platoon, the new Bagpuss film is poised to capture the hearts of both longtime suckers and beginners likewise.
As the release date approaches, suckers can anticipate further updates and promotional accoutrements leading up to the film’s debut.
For now, the return of Bagpuss serves as a gladdening memorial of the enduring appeal of classic children’s TV.
But off the pitch, trouble brewed. There were whispers of disagreements over transfers and squad planning.
Nuno himself admitted his relationship with Marinakis had broken down. And last night, the decision was made.
With the managerial seat empty, speculation is already running wild.
Ange Postecoglou, former Tottenham Hotspur manager and recent Europa League winner, is reportedly at the top of the list.
Known for revitalising teams and creating exciting, attacking football, he fits the bill and shares a Greek connection with the club’s owner.
But the buzz in the betting markets is all about José Mourinho.

Bookmakers have made Mourinho the 2/1 favourite to take over. That’s a big shift from 4/1 in just 12 hours.
The two-time Champions League winner has been without a job since leaving Fenerbahçe last month. Rumours suggest he could be ready for a Premier League comeback, and Forest could be his next challenge.
Forest are back in action this Saturday, travelling to Arsenal. They go into the game as 15/2 underdogs. So far, they’ve collected four points from three games, one win, one draw, and a 3-0 loss to West Ham most recently.
The club needs stability fast. Fans will be hoping that the new manager, whether it’s Postecoglou, Mourinho, or another candidate, can hit the ground running.
Sacking Nuno so early is a bold move. But Forest are determined to build on last season’s momentum. A new head coach is crucial.
Sympathisers will be watching closely. Whoever steps in will have big shoes to fill, and high prospects to meet.
