In a heated post-match exchange at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis confronted head coach Nuno Espirito Santo following a 2-2 draw with Leicester City. Despite ceasing to be a "person with significant control" of the club by putting his stake in a blind trust, Marinakis remains actively involved in the management of Forest, whose Champions League qualification bid is hanging by a thread. Despite the incident, Forest are assured of at least a Conference League spot in the 2025-26 season. BBC Sport's senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel provides an in-depth analysis of Marinakis, detailing his business empire in shipping, media, and football, and his passion for Nottingham Forest. Marinakis, worth an estimated £3bn, is expected to elevate Forest to another level with the anticipated appointment of Edu as global director of football. However, Marinakis has faced multiple investigations in Greece, including match-fixing allegations and drug trafficking scandals, which he has denied.
