Nuno Espirito Santo 'may NOT be in charge for Sunday's game against Palace' with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis 'BAFFLED' by coach's alarming comments - and 'explosive row with new arrival' is at the centre of major rift

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo's future has been thrown into fresh doubt after he admitted his relationship with Evangelos Marinakis was 'not so good' – remarks that have reportedly left the club's billionaire owner stunned.

There is now said to be a genuine possibility that Nuno will not be in the dugout for Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace, with growing speculation over whether he can survive the fallout.

Former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is among those being linked should Forest look for an alternative.

Club chiefs had made no move to sack him before this week's comments, but his words have caused some within Forest to question his commitment and even fear he is attempting to engineer his own exit, according to Sky Sports.
