Nottingham Forest's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, confronted manager Nuno Espirito Santo post-match following a 2-2 draw with Leicester City, citing natural frustrations over a late injury to striker Taiwo Awoniyi. Despite criticism from fans, Marinakis emphasized the historical achievement of securing European football for the first time in 30 years and urged unity and passion from players and supporters. The club's current league position poses challenges for Champions League qualification, yet Marinakis calls for hope and belief as the season concludes with two remaining matches.
"Today is a day for celebration, because after 30 years Nottingham Forest is now guaranteed to be competing on the European stage once again a promise I made to our supporters when we achieved promotion!"
"Everybody coaching staff, players, supporters and including myself we were frustrated around the injury of Taiwo and the medical staff's misjudgment on Taiwo's ability to continue the game. This is natural, this is a demonstration of the passion we feel for our club."
