“Fake news” is how the East Midlands club characterized the ensuing response to the incident.
Nuno was interviewed by an animated Marinakis following Sunday’s 2-2 Premier League match with Leicester.
According to Forest, Marinakis was upset that striker Taiwo Awoniyi had played on despite suffering an injury in the 88th minute that need “urgent” surgery on Monday night.
Marinakis’ actions were motivated by his “deep care, responsibility, and emotional investment,” the club claimed, in both the player and the team.
“The truth of the matter is there was no confrontation, with Nuno or with others, either on the pitch or inside the stadium,” the organization stated.
“All of us were frustrated that the athlete should never have been permitted to continue by the medical staff.
