Marinakis & Nuno to hold clear-the-air talks

Owner of Nottingham Forest, Evangelos Marinakis, will speak with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo and has resigned from any rifts.

Nuno acknowledged last week that his relationship with the owner had changed and that his position at City Ground is still unsure.

In response to rumors about his job, the 51-year-old said, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

He also made a surprise swipe at Forest before the season’s start by criticizing the club’s transfer business.

After West Ham’s Premier League game on Sunday, the pair are scheduled to sit down after speaking on the phone this week.

Marinakis has traveled to London on Friday after spending the Europa League draw with Forest, who will play former clubs Porto and Malmo, in a repeat of their 1979 European Cup triumph.

He continued, “Everything is sturdy. We all want the success of Nottingham. I don’t see a problem because we are here in the good times but also in the difficult ones.

We are “all together, united, and we will take some corrective steps,” and everything will go smoothly and quickly.

We have a trustworthy relationship, he says. We can occasionally feel anxious, say one thing, say another, but ultimately, what matters is the genuine connection between Nuno and the players, between the players and ourselves.

Former Wolves manager Nuno declared he would not leave after the 1-1 Premier League draw at Crystal Palace on Sunday.

It is absurd, I say. He continued, adding that he had previously claimed that his own exit attempt was “nonsense.”

Nuno, who has been in charge of the City Ground since December 2023, is confident he can resolve any problems and believes he will remain in charge after the international break.

“Yes, I believe so,” After leading Forest to seventh in the Premier League last year and earning its first European qualification in 30 years, he said, “I don’t know how to respond,” but I think so.

“In that regard, I feel completely at ease. We must talk about the club’s future and its commitment to it. We want the best for Forest, after all, and that’s for sure.

Nuno, however, reaffirmed that he had no regrets regarding his statements from the past two weeks.

The head coach only speaks up when he feels absolutely necessary because he is typically secretive.

He said, “I said it, and I don’t regret it,” and he continued. Because it was true, you won’t have to regret it because it was true to yourself.

I have a deep reflection about what is happening and speak frequently about it.

The club are making a great effort to finish the squad, but we are now seeing players entering the door.
