Nottingham Forest Under Evangelos Marinakis’s Ownership

Evangelos Marinakis completed his takeover of Nottingham Forest on May 18, 2017, putting an end to Al-stint Hasawi’s as the club’s owner. Forest chairman Nicholas Randall had vowed that the club would return to European football within five seasons. However, bad transfers and a toxic club culture meant that four years into the Marinakis period, Forest remained in the Championship.

The club underwent structural adjustments in the summer of 2021 in an attempt to address earlier errors. To implement a more analytics-driven transfer policy, Forest hired Dane Murphy as Chief Executive and George Syrianos as Head of Recruitment. Forest’s management pledged to avoid the ‘short-termism’ of recent windows by recruiting players for no more than £18,000 a week.

Forest confirmed the appointment of Steve Cooper as the club’s new head coach on September 21, 2021. Despite being at the bottom of the table when Cooper took over, the team has made a remarkable turnaround, and is now in serious contention for a promotion play-off spot.
