When Nottingham Forest's owner takes to the pitch and attacks his manager

After the draw against Leicester, Nottingham Forest chairman Evangelos Marinakis took to the pitch to speak to his manager.

Facing already-relegated Leicester, Nottingham Forest conceded a 2-2 draw and missed out on a chance to move closer to the European places. This poor performance frustrated club chairman Evangelos Marinakis, to the point of taking to the pitch to argue with his manager.

It was just after the final whistle that the Greek businessman left the stands to return to the pitch to demand an explanation from his coach, Nuno Espirito Santo. The heated discussion made the rounds on social media. According to the Portuguese coach's post-match statements, the discussion centered around striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who, according to his president, had come on too late. An exchange that epitomized the tension that has built up at Nottingham Forest.

A heated discussion in a tense context for the club. A few weeks ago, Nottingham Forest, who were third in the Premier League, were even starting to dream of a Champions League appearance. The club has now slipped to seventh place, one point behind the last European spot occupied by Aston Villa. Forest have just one win (1-2 at Tottenham) in their last six matches (two draws, three defeats).
