By BREAKING: Nuno signs new deal at Forest This morning, Nottingham Forest announced that manager Nuno Espírito Santo has penned a new deal with the club. The new contract sees the Portugese gaffer remain at the City Ground until 2028. Nuno was the brains behind last season's stunning campaign, with the Tricky Trees qualifying for a European competition for the first time since 1995/96. Speaking about his new deal, Nuno said: "I am delighted to be able to continue our journey at this fantastic football Club.
