The latest odds place Jose Mourinho at 2/1 to replace Nuno Espirito Santo as the new Nottingham Forest manager.
Nottingham Forest Sack Nuno Espirito Santo
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Nottingham Forest announced that they have sacked manager Nuno Espirito Santo after joining the club in late 2023.
Nuno replaced Steve Cooper at the City Ground and guided Forest to a 7th placed finish in the Premier League in the 2024/25 campaign.
Despite their impressive campaign last season, rumours of unrest between owner Evangelos Marinakis and Nuno have intensified, eventually leading to the Portguese's sacking last night.
