Breaking News: Nottingham Forest’s Owner Earns Praise for His Dedication to Players and Fans
Aston Villa’s European goal is thwarted by Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis’ Olympiacos. The Greek team, who have their own Europa League-winning coach, will rely on an outcast from Wolves on loan in attack. Unai Emery’s team will face a more familiar opponent in Aston Villa’s attempt to reach their first European final since 1982. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is anticipated to be in the stands to support his Olympiacos team. Following Forest’s 2-0 loss to Everton last month, the 56-year-old was reportedly responsible for the incendiary social media remark that made headlines.
After the team posted that they had told the PGMOL that VAR official Stuart Attwell was a supporter of Luton Town, their relegation rivals, Marinakis was incensed when his team was denied three penalties at Goodison Park. Additionally, he was seen on the touchline following Forest’s 1-0 loss to Liverpool in March, when the team believed they had been wronged by a contentious call made before the Reds’ victory. With Olympiacos now having their finest European run of his career, the colorful owner will take a short break from Forest’s relegation struggle.
The shipping tycoon has overseen Olympiacos’ supremacy in the Greek Super League since purchasing the Greek powerhouses in 2010. Under his leadership, Olympiacos has won 10 of 13 league titles and has routinely humiliated English opponents in Europe. Throughout the Marinakis period, Arsenal has faced Olympiacos twelve times, with the two teams splitting six victories each. The Gunners were eliminated from the Europa League by Olympiacos in 2020, but they exacted revenge the following year.
