Nottingham Forest considers Brendan Rodgers for the head coach position.
BRENDAN RODGERS: THE NEW HEAD COACH OF NOTTINGHAM FOREST
According to The Sun: Brendan Rodgers is the leading candidate for the head coach position at Nottingham Forest.
The team owner Evangelos Marinakis holds Rodgers in high regard, and his relationship with the current coach may already be on the brink.
Brendan Rodgers is in line to take over at Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo said his relationship with Evangelos Marinakis is fractured
Marinakis intended to approach Rodgers a month ago, so now may be an excellent moment to lure the former manager of Liverpool and Leicester back to England.
Rodgers is currently in the last year of his contract with Celtic and has previously left this team. If he decides to leave again, compensation will not be a barrier.
While Nottingham Forest faces an important season in home matches and in Europe, the conflict between the owner and the coach has persisted.
Nuno has publicly complained about the lack of new player signings and agreed that 'there's no smoke without fire' regarding rumors of his sacking.
Plans for Marinakis to part ways already next week - when Celtic has an important Champions League match against Kairat in Kazakhstan.
If Celtic does not perform successfully and fails to strengthen with new players, the decision for Rodgers to leave the team will become significantly easier.
POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER MESSAGES
After leaving Tottenham ahead of summer, Ange Postecoglou, 59, is also linked with Nottingham Forest, but he may be invited to replace Rodgers at Celtic.
Jose Mourinho, 62, who coaches Fenerbahce, has also been mentioned among candidates, but that would be costly and he has a hot reputation.
Nuno continues to coach Crystal Palace despite the threat of dismissal.
At the press conference, he stated that his relationship with owner Marinakis has deteriorated.
A week ago, he expressed concern that the team signed players too late after victories over Brentford.
It appears that this was directed against the head of the transfer department Edu - the former technical director of Arsenal, with whom, according to our sources, he has had a falling out.
Nuno admits that his daily contacts with Marinakis are no longer as active.
Four new players arrived after his comments ahead of the season, but it turned out that statements about improved morale did not sit well with the Portuguese.
Nuno stated that his task today is to maintain the players' morale.
He said: 'We had a fantastic season, so I understand that fans might be concerned.
“When such rumors appear in the media, it means something is really happening.
“But players also receive this news through social media, so my goal now is to focus on the game.
“When the match starts, everything else loses its significance.”
The news describes the possible appointment of Brendan Rodgers as the head coach of Nottingham Forest due to the conflict between current coach Nuno Espirito Santo and club owner Evangelos Marinakis. Rodgers is seen as the main candidate, as his possibility of terminating his contract with Celtic could facilitate the transition. The text also presents alternative options similar to the appointment, as well as the latest comments from Nuno himself regarding the situation in the club.
