Nottingham Forest Boss Nuno Espirito Santo Signs New Three-Year Deal at City Ground
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has committed his future to the club by signing a new three-year contract at the City Ground. The Portuguese coach, who took charge in December 2023, has impressed club officials with his leadership and tactical acumen, prompting the decision to extend his stay until 2027.
Espirito Santo, previously at Wolves and Tottenham, arrived at Forest when the club was battling to stay clear of the relegation zone. Under his guidance, the team displayed a more organised and disciplined style of play, which helped secure their Premier League status in the 2023/24 season. His impact has been widely praised by both fans and players alike.
Club chairman Evangelos Marinakis expressed his delight at the deal, stating: "Nuno has brought stability, energy, and ambition to Nottingham Forest. His vision aligns with our long-term goals, and we are thrilled to have him lead us forward."
Since taking over, Espirito Santo has overseen key tactical changes and developed a stronger team identity. He has also worked closely with the club’s recruitment department to strengthen the squad with smart signings, focusing on a mix of youth and experience.
In a statement, Espirito Santo said: “I am proud to continue this journey with Nottingham Forest. We’ve made great progress, but there is still so much more to achieve. The support from the fans, players, and the board has been incredible, and I am fully committed to helping this club grow and succeed.”
With pre-season preparations already underway, Forest fans will be optimistic about the future. The new deal signals stability and ambition, and the club is aiming to build on last season's progress and push for a solid mid-table finish or even a top-half challenge in the upcoming campaign.
The renewed commitment to Espirito Santo also reflects Forest’s desire to establish themselves as a consistent force in the Premier League after several turbulent years. Stability in management has often eluded the club, with frequent managerial changes disrupting momentum.
