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

Nuno Espirito Santo has spoken positively about his future at Nottingham Forest ahead of this afternoon’s clash with Crystal Palace. The Portuguese had cast doubt on his role at the City Ground in a remarkable pre-match press conference on Friday.

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.
