Nottingham Forest Football Club confirms that, following recent circumstances, Nuno Espírito Santo has today been relieved of his duties as Head Coach.
Of course he's been relieved of his duties. Everyone knows that finishing 7th in the league is a sackable offence.
Interesting take from Ally McCoist this morning. He reckons Nuno knows he massively over achieved last year and hasn't got the squad to do the same again or do well in Europe. So he has purposely engineered his own sacking, by being critical of the owner in public, so he can go out with his reputation on a high and still get paid off.

Gordon Bennett...TBF, after failing to manage the egos at Spurs, Espírito Santo as proved his quality at Nottm For. I don't think he'll be too pissed off for long. There's bound to be another opportunity coming around shortly. I'd go in order of probability: 1. a Wolves return, 2. Aston Villa, 3. West Ham 4. Sheff Utd. 5. Ipswich Town.
Could see that coming after he sad his relationship with the owner wasn’t great, add to that the loss to West Ham too!
League position has nothing to do with it, this was all down to that interview. He’s engineered his own departure, possibly for the reasons McCoist alluded to
Maybe the real reason was Edu the director buying players like Hutchison and Luiz that Nuno didn't want!
