Marco Silva is “unhappy” at Fulham and is in firm contention to be the next Nottingham Forest manager, sources have told Football Insider.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s future at the City Ground is up in the air after a public fallout with owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Football Insider revealed last week that Silva is Forest’s top target to replace Nuno if he is sacked.
It is now believed that the London club’s longstanding manager is not happy and would be interested in another Premier League post.

Like Nuno, Silva is represented by Jorge Mendes’ Gestifute agency, who do a lot of player trading with Marinakis and his clubs, including Forest.
That adds another subplot to the potential change of manager at Forest, which is likely to be determined by results after the international break.
Nuno is under pressure following a poor start to the campaign and on the back of a difficult summer in which he did not see eye to eye with the club’s new recruitment chief Edu Gasper.

That resulted in him going public about the internal disagreements, voicing his displeasure with Marinakis and Gaspar, as well as admitting that the trio are set for ‘crunch talks’.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have agreed a deal to sign Rangers sensation Blaine McClure, sources have told Football Insider.
An announcement regarding the 18-year-old defensive midfielder’s switch to the City Ground is expected imminently, after the deal has been finalised.
Sources say that McClure will move to Forest on an initial loan, with a view to a permanent transfer in the future.
The Northern Ireland Under-19 international joined Rangers from Northern Ireland club Linfield in the summer of 2023, but never made an appearance for the first team.
