Nottingham Forest boss Nuno set to depart

Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is set to leave the club, according to well-placed sources.

BBC Sport understands the decision has been taken by the Forest hierarchy, including owner Evangelos Marinakis.

The position of the Portuguese coach had been uncertain for two weeks since publicly declaring his relationship with Marinakis had deteriorated.

Talks are under way over Nuno’s replacement, with an appointment imminent.

The 51-year-old took charge of Forest in December 2023 after the dismissal of Steve Cooper and helped them preserve their top-flight status.

Last term he guided the club to seventh in the Premier League – their highest finish since 1994-95 – as they qualified for Europe for the first time in three decades.
