Nottingham Forest have announced that Nuno Espirito Santo has signed a new three-year contract with the club, extending his tenure ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Nuno led Forest to an extraordinary 2024/25 season, achieving the club’s highest league finish in 30 years and securing qualification for UEFA European competition for the first time since the 1995/96 season.

“I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football club. Since we arrived at Forest, we have worked extremely hard to create a special bond between the players, the fans and everyone at the Club, which helped us achieve great things last season.

“I would like to thank our owner, Mr. Marinakis, for his constant support and backing. It is important to me to share a strong relationship with our ownership and we have thoroughly enjoyed working together ever since I arrived at Forest Now is the time to work harder than ever as we strive for more special memories together," Nuno said in a statement.

Last season, Nuno guided Forest to away victories over Liverpool and Manchester United for the first time in 55 and 30 years, respectively, and also achieved the club’s longest top-flight winning streak since 1967.

His efforts were recognised with three Premier League Manager of the Month awards, more than any other manager during the 2024/25 campaign, following successes in October, December, and March.

“Nuno has made a great impact and performed very well during his time with us so far. He has demonstrated that he maximises player performance and is an expert at developing players, whilst also embedding our young talent into the first team set-up.

“We enjoy a strong and solid relationship together and, above all, we share the same dream and ambition of writing a new history for Nottingham Forest, competing in the Premier League and in Europe and winning trophies for our great club!", said Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.
