Nuno Espirito Santo is with Nottingham since Dec 20, 2023 and this is his second season with Nottingham forest as coach after he replaced Steve Cooper. In football, coach has a major role on overall performance of the team. If Forest has jumped from very last position to top 3rd position then credit goes to Nuno Espirito Santo along with collective team effort. Forest has booked his seat for next EPL season and if they keep playing like that in rest of there games then surely they will qualify for champions league also.
Let's hope they maintain this level of play and can also qualify for the Champions League, we need new and fresh teams to face the Champions League so that it becomes a more varied championship
Then obviously, i am the first to say that the coach changes, look at the case of Napoli who were doing really badly, then they took a serious coach like Antonio Conte and got back on track, without changing the team!
Nottingham can do well in the Champions League if they qualify, with their current performance, they can play against teams, even the big clubs in the Champions League. The experience may not be there but the new format for the Champions League has made it easier for even small clubs to be able to get into the next round. Surprisingly, only two Premier League teams are remaining in the Champions League and Aston Villa being one of them, with current form Aston Villa are not pressing imagine if it was Nottingham on that position, there will be more hopes on moving further than Aston Villa able to beat PSG.
