Have a look at the wife, salary and net worth of Nuno Espirito Santo
Nuno Espirito Santo began working for the Vitória S.C. at Guimarães in his hometown of São Tomé. He met with Jorge Mendes, the owner of a nightclub in Porto at the time and became the agent’s first client in 1996. Jorge mediated a $1 million transfer deal to Deportivo de La Coruña of La Liga in January 1997.
Following his criticism of the choices made during Nottingham Forest’s loss to Everton last season, Nuno Espirito Santo has spoken out about his and the team’s growing rapport with match officials. The Football Association fined Forest £750,000 for a “attack on the integrity of a match official on an unparalleled scale” that occurred on social media following a 2-0 loss in April.
High flying Forest will now make their return to Goodison Park on Sunday. When Forest protested on X about three penalty calls that went against them in the match on April 21, 2024, they alleged that video assistant referee (VAR) Stuart Attwell was a supporter of Luton Town, who were also fighting relegation at the time.
Although they were finally disciplined in October, Nuno believes that officials’ standards have now increased and will be looking off to pull a win for his team this time around and keep his side in the top 4 of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
