Nuno Espirito Santo sparks alarm at Nottingham Forest as he says he is 'not as close' with owner Evangelos Marinakis and their 'relationship has changed' after shock sacking rumours

Nuno Espirito Santo has sparked concern amongst Nottingham Forest fans by revealing his relationship with Evangelos Marinakis' has 'changed' this summer - and not in a good way.

Espirito Santo has been a huge hit with fans of the Tricky Trees since his arrival a year ago, far exceeding expectations last season as he guided the club to a Europa League finish.

Yet despite such successes on the pitch, he and owner Evangelos Marinakis haven't always seen eye-to-eye.

The situation seemed to come to a head towards the end of last season when Marinakis stormed onto the City Ground pitch to berate Espirito Santo following a 2-2 draw with Leicester City.
