JUST IN: Nottingham Forest Send Head Coach Nuno Espírito Santo to Stunning Three-Year Contract Extension Worth £15 Million
In a major development at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest have officially extended the contract of head coach Nuno Espírito Santo, securing his services for an additional three years. The new deal, reportedly worth £15 million, comes as a show of faith in the Portuguese tactician after a season marked by tactical improvement, resilience, and a clear long-term vision for the club.
Forest’s Faith in Nuno
Nuno Espírito Santo took charge of Nottingham Forest in late 2023 during a turbulent spell, replacing Steve Cooper. Despite arriving mid-season, Nuno quickly stabilized the side, guiding Forest to a respectable position in the Premier League and instilling a more structured and efficient style of play.
His ability to build a strong defensive unit while unlocking the potential of key players like Morgan Gibbs-White, Taiwo Awoniyi, and Anthony Elanga has not gone unnoticed. Under his leadership, Forest have become a side capable of taking on top-flight opposition with maturity and competitive spirit.
Club Statement
In an official statement, Nottingham Forest said:
> “We are delighted to confirm that Nuno Espírito Santo has signed a new three-year contract with the club. Nuno has brought stability, discipline, and ambition to the first team. This extension reflects our commitment to continuity and our belief in his long-term project.”
Nuno’s Vision
Nuno has reportedly been deeply involved in shaping the club’s transfer policy and academy integration, aligning with the board’s desire to blend experience with youthful talent. Sources close to the club indicate that the new contract will also grant him greater influence over recruitment and scouting decisions, signaling a more centralized role for the head coach moving forward.
> “It’s an honour to continue my journey with this great club. I’ve felt the passion of the fans and the ambition of the owners. We are building something special here, and I’m fully committed to taking Nottingham Forest to the next level.”
