Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is proud to be managing the club where the legendary Brian Clough achieved so many impressive feats.

With Forest having upgraded the facilities at the Nigel Doughty Academy last season and over the summer, players are encouraged to socialise before and after training. The canteen area and player’s lounge are now of a Premier League standard. Those at the club are no longer nervous about potential new signings seeing the facilities.

Two decades on from his passing, Brian Clough remains a football icon and one who Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis says continues to influence the club he elevated to footballing folklore.

Friday marked 20 years since the death of Forest's most successful manager, who led them to a First Division title, back-to-back European Cups and four League Cups in the 1970s and 1980s.
