Nuno Espirito Santo took over as manager when Steve Cooper was sacked last December, and the Portuguese coach has battled the threat of relegation amid a Premier League punishment for financial rule breaches and a peculiar public war of words over the standard of refereeing.
Nuno’s men had looked on course for an impressive win over Chelsea last weekend, but two quickfire goals from Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson turned the game on its head and cut short the celebrations inside the City Ground. For many fans, that would usually mean a week of great anxiety before the final day of the league season, when their fight against relegation will be settled.
However, even though they are not mathematically safe from the drop, Forest and their supporters will not feel too concerned ahead of their game with Burnley on matchday 38. The Sporting News explains why.
