Upon his arrival at Nottingham Forest, Evangelos Marinakis made it clear that his goal was to revive the club’s former glory. “We want to bring back Forest’s past success,” the Greek stated when he took over in May 2017. Fast forward to today, Marinakis’ ambition seems to have only grown stronger.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Marinakis discussed his vision of Forest one day playing in Europe and having a 50,000 capacity City Ground. His dreams are undeniably grand, but as he pointed out, why not aim high? Forest, after all, is where miracles happen – a fact illustrated by the Miracle Men.
As the club reflected on the 20th anniversary of Brian Clough’s passing, the inspiration from the past continues to fuel their pursuits for the future. Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo acknowledged the greatness of Clough and the difficulty of matching his achievements, but he also emphasized the importance of honoring his legacy by striving for excellence.
Despite the differences in times, Forest’s early season form is proving their potential to exceed expectations in the Premier League. The team’s depth and performance on the field, including impressive signings making an impact, suggest a promising season ahead.
Nuno’s focus is on the present, understanding that success requires dedication and hard work. While fans may be brimming with excitement about what the future holds, the coach remains grounded in his approach, emphasizing the importance of consistency and maintaining their philosophy.
With Marinakis’ ambitious vision and Nuno’s steady leadership, Forest can dare to dream big. Progressing up the table and achieving new heights are within reach, supported by a team that works hard and fights for success. As they continue forward, the club and its supporters have every reason to be hopeful for a bright future.
