Nuno signs three-year extension with Forest following a successful season that sees them quailfy for Europe.
Forest boss Nuno signs new three-year deal.
Nuno Espirito Santo, the manager of Nottingham Forest, has agreed to a new three-year contract at the City Ground.
Last season, Forest qualified for Europe for the first time since 1995–1996 under the Portuguese’s leadership, finishing seventh in the Premier League.
“I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football club,” Nuno said.
“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.”
In December 2023, Nuno took Steve Cooper’s place, and he kept Forest afloat until the last day of the 2023–24 campaign.
Despite finishing 17th, they were docked four points for violating the profit and sustainability regulations.
Forest was the unexpected star of the previous season, contending for Champions League berths and spending most of the season in the top four.
Despite qualifying for the Europa Conference League play-off stage, they were eliminated from contention after winning two of their last seven games.
Nuno, a former head coach of Wolves and Tottenham, also led them to their first FA Cup semi-final appearance since 1991, when they were defeated 2-0 by Manchester City.
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.”
