Suns: Nuno was fired due to transfer issues and the team s performance decline

After Nottingham Forest announced that Postkoglu replaced Nuno as the team's head coach, the Sun exposed the inside story of the club's sack of Nuno.

After months of uncertainty about his position at the club, Nottingham Forest finally decided to fire head coach Nuno. The club issued a brief statement early Tuesday morning local time, saying the decision was based on "recent situation".

Since May, a series of events have gradually pushed the 51-year-old Portuguese tactician to the brink of leaving the team. As early as four months ago, The Sun learned that Nuno's future became uncertain after Nottingham Forest missed the Champions League qualification.

Although the team was expected to be in the top five at one time, the season-end losing streak (including losses to Brentford and Chelsea, as well as a draw with Crystal Palace and Leicester City) ended up being ranked seventh, which brought doubts about Nuno's future.

After a disappointing 2-2 draw with Leicester City, club owner Marinakis rushed into the court and had a fierce conversation with Nuno. Although the club claimed that this was due to dissatisfaction with the treatment of Avoniyi's injury, it was widely believed that this marked a deterioration in relations between the two sides.

Although this is Nottingham Forest's best Premier League result in 30 years, sources revealed that the club is unhappy with the team's decline and Nuno's future has become uncertain, especially after Marinakis made a series of adjustments to comply with the UEFA multi-club ownership rules. An explosive report in August pointed out that Nottingham Forest plans to fire him due to differences between Nuno and the club's top leaders on transfers. Nuno expressed dissatisfaction with the team's insufficient signings in an interview and said that the lineup was "very, very far" and did not reach its due level.

Nuno later publicly stated at a press conference that his relationship with Marinakis was no longer close, making his future even more confusing. Despite the club's insistence that everything is normal, Nuno's remarks clearly shocked the club officials.

With the arrival of former Arsenal sporting director Edu, the conflict between Nuno and the club's top leaders has further intensified. The two have differences on the transfer issue, Nuno hopes to sign Fulham's Traore, but is not interested in Douglas Louis.

In the end, after Nottingham Forest's home defeat to West Ham United, Marinakis decided that Nuno could not continue to serve as the head coach under the new system. Although Marinakis is known for his "easy change to coaches", he chose patience and unity on Nuno's issue. However, over time, previous events have created irreparable cracks.

Nottingham Forest will now be taken over by Postkoglu, who is still praised for leading the team to win the UEFA Cup after being fired by Tottenham this summer. Postkoglu established close ties with Marinakis and even received an honorary award from Marinakis in Greece.

While Nuno has left a significant chapter in the history of Nottingham Forest, the club must move forward to achieve Marinakis’s vision of success for the three teams.
