Nuno Espiríto Santo can sometimes be nervous in his coaching zone during matches. Last week, it wasn't the pitch that horrified him, but the Premier League's decision. His club, Nottingham Forrest, was fined four points for breaching the league's profitability and sustainability rules (the equivalent of Financial Fair Play). A decision that the club and its coach are contesting by appealing. At a press conference, the Portuguese did not hide his dissatisfaction.

“I think I hit something that was close to me, I was disappointed. But it only lasted a few minutes because I immediately knew we had to bounce back. Now it's more of a case of reality: we realize it's a difficult situation. We need to stick together and go, you don't need anything else. But we have the ambition to stay in the Premier League and that's huge.” he declared to the media. Forest now finds itself in a very delicate situation in the standings. Nuno Espiríto Santo's players are in a relegation position with 21 small points.
