Manager Nuno Espirito Santo commits to Nottingham Forest after historic season

Since his arrival in December 2023, the Portuguese tactician - known for his successful stints at Wolves and Spurs - has transformed Forest's fortunes.

From flirting with relegation to clinching a remarkable seventh-place finish in the Premier League, Nuno's impact has been nothing short of dramatic. It's Forest's highest league finish since the 1990s and has propelled them into European competition for the first time since the 1995-96 campaign.

Though they missed out on a Champions League berth by just a single point - edged out by Newcastle United - Forest's entry into the UEFA Conference League playoff round marks a significant milestone for a club on the rise.

"I'm thrilled to continue this incredible journey with a club that means so much to so many," Nuno said following the announcement of his new three-year deal. "We've built a strong connection - among players, fans, and everyone behind the scenes - and that unity was key to our success. The challenge now is to go even further."

With Nuno now firmly at the helm, Forest look set to turn their revival into a long-term resurgence - and perhaps, sooner than later, shake up the Premier League's established order.
