VAR criticism: Nottingham Manager, Espirito Santo, Neco Williams fined for misconduct
Spread The News

Nottingham Forest Manager, Nuno Espirito Santo and defender, Neco Williams, have been fined on Thursday for misconduct by the Football Association after last season’s defeat by Everton.

Nuno has been fined £40,000 and handed a one-game touchline ban, which is suspended until 31 May 2026, while Williams has been fined £24,000.

The fines is related to their comments after Forest had three penalty decisions go against them in their 2-0 Premier League defeat at Goodison Park in April.

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Nuno, said the officials had “bad” games while Williams told Sky Sports: “Every single week this happens now.

We are getting decisions against us, I don’t know why.

Is it because we are a lower, bottom half of the table team?”

Both men have also been warned about their future conduct.

The Premier League has continually stated its commitment to improving VAR and have spoken to clubs and Managers about the impact of public criticism of VAR undermining the game, and that there will be a new focus on regulating these public comments.
