Nottingham Forest: Premier League Contenders After 30 Years

Nottingham Forest's 2-0 victory over Everton has propelled them to second place in the Premier League standings. This historic club, rejuvenated by Portuguese manager Nuno Espirito Santo, has become a formidable contender in English football.

Since joining Forest, Nuno has orchestrated a remarkable turnaround, securing 37 points in 19 matches—surpassing the 32 points the team accumulated throughout the entire previous season.

To grasp the magnitude of Nuno's impact, consider this: the last time Nottingham Forest occupied a top-four spot at this stage of the season was during the 1994-95 campaign. The club had endured a 30-year wait to witness such a resurgence.

Under Nuno's leadership, Forest has achieved significant victories, including a triumph over Liverpool in the early weeks of the season, signaling their intent. They have also held Chelsea to a draw at Stamford Bridge, defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford, overcome Tottenham Hotspur on their home turf, and most recently, dispatched Everton at Goodison Park.

With a storied history that includes European glory, Nottingham Forest appears to have found their ideal manager in Nuno Espirito Santo. The club's supporters eagerly anticipate the second half of the season, hopeful that this remarkable journey will continue.
