Nottingham Forest continues its efforts to solidify its status as a Premier League club both on and off the field.
The club’s ambitious owner, Evangelos Marinakis, is determined to see the team not only survive but thrive in the top half of the league and secure a European competition spot.
To this end, Marinakis is making strategic moves beyond player acquisitions. Reports suggest that Nottingham Forest is poised to enhance its backroom staff, which bodes well for the club’s future.
A significant development is the impending appointment of Miran Pavlin as the new technical director.
Pavlin, a former Slovenian international with 63 caps who represented his country at the 2002 World Cup, will start his role next week. This appointment signals Marinakis’ intent to reinforce the club’s operational structure.
Speaking to the Slovenian outlet Delo, Pavlin expressed his excitement about the new role:
“I received an offer from Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest, Olympiacos, and Rio Ave. At 52, I didn’t hesitate. The Premier League is the best league in the world, and this opportunity to work within a conglomerate of three clubs is a huge challenge.”
Pavlin’s arrival raises questions about the future of Ross Wilson, who currently holds a similar role at Nottingham Forest. It remains to be seen how the dynamic between Pavlin and Wilson will unfold, and whether Wilson will remain with the club. Pavlin is expected to play a pivotal role in signings and overall strategy across all three Marinakis-owned clubs, potentially lessening his exclusive focus on Forest.
As Pavlin prepares to assume his duties, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his plans will shape Nottingham Forest’s strategy and performance in the upcoming season. This strategic move reflects Marinakis’ broader vision of creating a formidable and competitive club on all fronts.
