Nuno Espírito Santo is currently the head coach of Nottingham Forest, having taken over the position in December 2023 after Steve Cooper was sacked. His tenure at Forest has been marked by significant achievements:
- Early Impact: He started with a squad that was in 17th place in the Premier League table with only one win in their last 13 matches. His arrival brought a noticeable shift in performance, with Forest achieving a strong start to the 2024/25 season, finding themselves in 5th place after 9 matches with only one loss.
- Tactical Influence: Nuno has introduced a style characterized by counter-attacking football, with an emphasis on being hard to beat, which has resulted in a solid defensive record. Under his management, Forest have shown improvements in both attacking and defensive metrics.
- Historical Wins: Notable victories include Forest's first win at Anfield since 1969 against Liverpool in the 2024/25 season and significant results against teams like Manchester United and Newcastle United, showcasing the impact of his management.
- Squad Management: He inherited a squad that was considered too large for his liking, but he managed to bring clarity and a new sense of purpose to the team, promoting a culture of hard work and discipline. His philosophy includes short, sharp training sessions and fostering a positive environment.
- Challenges: Nuno's time at Forest has not been without challenges, including managing a squad with numerous injuries and navigating the club through a potential points deduction due to financial rule breaches. Despite these, he has maintained a focus on performance on the pitch.
- Community Engagement: There have been instances highlighting his engagement with the local community, such as his reunion with Warriors United, a local learning disability football team, showing his commitment extends beyond the pitch.
Overall, Nuno Espírito Santo has been instrumental in transforming Nottingham Forest's performance, instilling confidence, and establishing a clearer tactical identity within the team.
