Son Heung-min's teacher, Nunu Espiritu Santo Nottingham Forest, was replaced in shock.

The position was filled by another teacher, director Enze Postecoglou. Nottingham announced on the 9th (Korea time) 'The club will dismiss Nunu Santo from the manager's post depending on the recent situation. I would like to express my gratitude to coach Nunu Santo for his contribution, especially his role in the 2024-2025 season, after a successful period in Nottingham. This will be remembered forever in club history,' the release said.

And Postecoglou revealed his appointment. Nottingham are pleased to announce that Postecoglou will be the club's first team head coach. Postecoglou has more than 25 years of coaching experience, consistently competing at the highest level and holding up trophies,' he said.




However, the reality is that the gaze is not fair. Coach Nunu Santo led Nottingham to seventh place in the English Premier League (EPL) last season, presenting the first European club competition ticket in 30 years. Even after the opening of the new season, he has one win, one draw and one loss in three EPL games.

However, less than a month after the opening of Evangelos Marinakis, the leading eccentric owner of European football, he pressed the replacement button. It was somewhat foreseen.

Coach Nunu Santo and the owner of the Marinakis collided head-on on the ground in May. There has been frequent noise in recent years as well. The successor commander, Postecoglou, is intertwined with 'Greek Connection'. Greek-born Australian coach Postecoglou and Greek wealthy owner Marinakis have reportedly maintained a secret relationship for years.

Coach Nunu Santo's exit foreshadows another era of 'end'. According to the anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out, British football is on the verge of losing a generation of black, Asian or mixed-race coaches, as Nottingham fired Nunu Santo, leaving no more black heads of Premier League clubs, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

The last time there was no black coach in the EPL was from March to August 2023. It was before Vincent Kompany promoted Burnley to the EPL after the departure of Crystal Palace manager Patric Viera.

Samuel Okafor, the chief executive of Kick It Out", said "This problem has been going on for more than a decade, and there have been some former players who have given up trying to succeed as coaches or coaches. We know that a range of talents exist, and clubs must be transparent and fair in their appointment process. We must not lose another generation because of a lack of collaborative action", he pointed out.

That's why nearly half of black players enjoy the EPL. According to a 2022 report by 'Black Footballer Partnership', 43% of EPL players were black, but only 4.4% applied for the coaching position. For club leadership positions, this figure falls further to 1.6%.

In 2021, the EPL established a 'Anti-Racism Action Plan' to provide more opportunities for Black people, Asians and others. The plan also includes fostering directors. The English Football Association (FA) also introduced a system to expand diversity in 2020.

But the real wall is still high. 'BBC' added that while the FA has implemented several programs, such as the English Elite Coaching Programme, to diversify its coaching staff, its influence on the club's recruitment process remains limited.

The aftermath of the replacement of coach Nunu Santo is huge. Attention is focusing on whether Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to a Europa League victory last season, will make a soft landing
