The former Porto and Spurs boss has inked a new three-year deal at the City Ground, although you wouldn’t have known it if you looked at the Midlands club’s website.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted that Forest had mistakenly stated that Nuno inked an “x-year deal” in their statement announcing the new contract.
A snippet of the club’s official statement read: “Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce that Nuno Espírito Santo has signed a new contract with the Club.
“The Forest Head Coach has been handed a new x-year deal by owner Evangelos Marinakis ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.”
Nuno, 51, is over the moon to have extended his stay at the City Ground, which is set to host UEFA Conference League football this coming season.
He said: “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.”
Marinakis said of the new deal: “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!”
Forest will kick off their Premier League season on Saturday, August 17, away to Brighton.
The Tricky Trees will play the first leg of their Conference League play-off on August 21.
