Nottingham Forest appoint ex-Wolves boss Nuno as manager

Santo returns to PL after just over a year away

Former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has been appointed as the new manager of Nottingham Forest.

The Portuguese coach left Wolves in May 2022 after four years in charge, and has now returned to the Premier League with Forest.

Forest are currently bottom of the Premier League table, with just one win from their opening 12 games.

Nuno's managerial career

Nuno began his managerial career with Rio Ave in 2012, and led them to the Portuguese Cup final in his first season in charge.

He then moved to Valencia in 2014, but was sacked after just one season.

In 2017, he was appointed as manager of Wolves, and led them to promotion to the Premier League in his first season in charge.

He kept Wolves in the Premier League for four seasons, and also led them to the Europa League quarter-finals in 2020.

Forest's recent form

Forest have had a difficult start to the season, and are currently bottom of the Premier League table.

They have only won one of their opening 12 games, and have conceded 29 goals in that time.

Nuno will be hoping to turn things around at Forest, and help them avoid relegation.

Reaction to Nuno's appointment

The appointment of Nuno has been met with mixed reactions from Forest fans.

Some fans are excited by the appointment, and believe that Nuno is the right man to turn things around at the club.

Others are more cautious, and are concerned that Nuno's lack of recent experience could be a problem.

Conclusion

The appointment of Nuno as Forest manager is a gamble, but it is one that could pay off.

Nuno is a good coach with a proven track record, and he will be hoping to help Forest avoid relegation and establish themselves in the Premier League.
