Nuno Espirito Santo insisted that he does not hold a grudge against Tottenham after his rocky spell as the club’s manager. The Portuguese spent four months as Spurs head coach in 2021, and was sacked after starting the season with a run of eight wins in 17 matches. He was replaced by Antonio Conte, who led the club back to a fourth-place finish.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo says everyone should be proud of what the club have achieved so far this season as they look forward to playing in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. Forest have been one of the surprise stories of the season, sitting near the top of the Premier League since the autumn.

Nuno Espirito Santo said his Nottingham Forest side were embracing being in the race for Champions League football and in an FA Cup semi-final after they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 away on Monday.
