Portuguese coach calls speculation “ridiculous” and stresses focus on building team stability
Storm at Forest: Nuno Breaks Silence on His Future
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo's dismissed reports suggesting he's ready to walk away from the club labeling the rumors as "nonsense" following his side’s 1 - 1 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Tense relations with the owner
Speculation over Nuno’s future intensified last Friday when he admitted his relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis'd "deteriorated" and was no longer built on trust.
Last season Forest also played down heated exchange when Marinakis entered the pitch to confront the Portuguese coach after league game.
Coach denies exit talk
Speaking after the Palace clash, Nuno told reporters:
"That's absolute nonsense. Ridiculous. This story's ridiculous"
When asked whether he was certain to remain beyond the current transfer window, he replied:
"I cannot answer that question. What I know is that I am working and trying to do my job the best I can"
"That's nonsense" ❌

Focus on team progress
The 50 year old underlined the importance of solving the situation stressing:
"Of course the issue must be resolved. We're responsible people. A constructive dialogue can build solid platform for what matters most: the team. That conversation will happen, it's to happen"
Forest’s solid start
Despite the off field noise, Forest sit fourth in the Premier League table with 4 point from their opening 2 game. They next face West Ham United as they look to maintain their early momentum.
🗣️ "I can't see anything other than his exit!"
