Nuno Espirito Santo Signs Long-Term Deal To Remain At Nottingham Forest

‎Nottingham Forest received a major boost ahead of their first European campaign in 30 years, as the club’s manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, signed a new three-year contract at the City Ground.

‎Nuno’s previous deal had been set to expire in the summer of 2026 and the 51-year-old has agreed terms that will keep him at the City Ground until 2028.

‎Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis said, “Nuno has made a great impact and performed very well during his time with us so far.

‎”He has demonstrated that he maximises player performance and is an expert at developing players, whilst also embedding our young talent into the first team set-up.

‎”We enjoy a strong and solid relationship together and, above all, we share the same dream and ambition of writing a new history for Nottingham Forest, competing in the Premier League and in Europe, and winning trophies for our great club!”

‎Nuno also said, “I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football Club.

‎“Since we arrived at Forest, we have worked extremely hard to create a special bond between the players, the fans, and everyone at the Club, which helped us achieve great things last season.

‎“Now is the time to work harder than ever as we strive for more special memories together.”

‎Forest will start the 2025-26 season with a home match against Brentford. They are also waiting to see if they might be promoted to the Europa League due to issues involving Crystal Palace’s ownership and UEFA regulations.

‎This will be Forest’s first European campaign since 1995-96, when Frank Clark led the team to the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

‎The news of Nuno Espirito Santo’s new contract is expected to be well-received by the club’s supporters.
