Evangelos Marinakis breaks silence on Nuno Espirito Santo row and pins blame in statement
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has issued a statement explaining why he confronted Nuno Espirito Santo after the final whistle against Leicester City. The bizarre exchange came after Forest were forced to share the spoils, conceding a late equaliser to their rivals. While it came as a bitter blow, a point was enough to ensure the Reds will be playing European football next season.
After the final whistle at the City Ground, Nuno was given a furious dressing-down by Marinakis in full view of the TV cameras. Marinakis stormed onto the pitch before appearing to berate his manager while throwing his arms around in frustration. He eventually walked away from the scene, leaving Nuno with a puzzled and slightly frustrated look on his face.
