It’s today been explained what Nuno Espirito Santo told Morgan Gibbs-White on the day he arrived at Nottingham Forest.
This has come to light in an article that has been released by The Telegraph.
So, what did Espirito Santo tell Gibbs-White on the day he arrived to take over from Steve Cooper at Forest? Let’s take a closer look…
What Nuno Espirito Santo told Morgan Gibbs-White when he arrived at Forest
Well, it was a topic of discussion when Espirito Santo arrived at Forest in terms of what role Gibbs-White would play.
When the head coach had been at Wolves, he’d not picked Gibbs-White and instead loaned him out.
However, the pair always seemed to have a good relationship, with Gibbs-White sending Espirito Santo a classy message when he left Wolves.
Still, it created a bit of anxiety among the fan base – although it would appear that nobody needed to worry.
According to The Telegraph, Gibbs-White was offered an assurance on day one that he’d remain one of the main men at the City Ground.
That must have been music to the ears of a player who is universally popular at Forest.
Gibbs-White signed for the club in August 2022, scoring five times and claiming eight assists in his maiden campaign at the club.
Gibbs-White handed new lease of life under Nuno
One of Steve Cooper’s big regrets from this season at Forest might be choosing to tinker with Gibbs-White too often.
In the first half of the season, he often found himself playing on the flank and that just doesn’t suit him.
Now, Espirito Santo has persisted with playing him as the number 10 and working other players around him.
Not only has he stayed true to his work and kept him as a main man, but the Forest boss has also let Gibbs-White crack on in his best position.
It’s great that Espirito Santo has come in and ensured Gibbs-White is integral.
The forward is serious captain material and always gives his all to the Forest cause whenever he’s called upon.
