Nuno Espirito Santo's future as Nottingham Forest manager is uncertain after a breakdown in his relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis.

The Sun claim that Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has been sought out as Marinakis’ number one target to replace Nuno. The former Leicester and Liverpool head coach is hugely admired by the Greek businessman and he has been courting Rodgers for several months behind the scenes.

Nuno arrived at Forest in December 2023 and quickly oversaw a reversal of the club’s declining fortunes. The former Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur boss has won 30 of his 69 games in charge, but whether he reaches a 70th match in the dugout remains to be seen.
