Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has publicly acknowledged a deterioration in his relationship with club owner Evangelos Marinakis, describing it as "not so close" compared to last season. The change in their dynamic has raised questions about Santo's future at the club. Additionally, Santo has experienced a serious fallout with Edu, Nottingham Forest's global head of football appointed in July, with reports indicating the relationship is personal and unlikely to be reconciled soon. Amidst this internal discord, speculation about managerial changes has intensified. Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers have emerged as potential candidates to replace Santo, with Mourinho reportedly lined up for a Premier League return if Forest decide to part ways with their current manager. Ange Postecoglou, recently sacked by Tottenham, is also in discussions with a Premier League club owner and is considered a candidate for a managerial role. Despite the rumors, Nuno Espirito Santo is expected to remain in charge for Nottingham Forest's upcoming match against Crystal Palace.
