US EditionMarinakis pauses Forest ownership for UEFA regulations
- On April 29, 2025, Evangelos Marinakis stepped down from his role as the principal controlling figure at Nottingham Forest, as the club sits sixth in the Premier League and pushes for a spot in the Champions League.
- This move follows UEFA rules barring the same owner from controlling two clubs that qualify for the same European competition, since Marinakis also owns Olympiacos, who will play in the Champions League next season.
- Marinakis placed his Forest shares in a blind trust as a temporary compliance measure, while Edu, former Arsenal sporting director, leads the multi-club group that includes Forest and Brazilian club Rio Ave.
- Nottingham Forest currently shares the same number of points as Chelsea, who sit fifth, and has the advantage of an extra match to play, with four games remaining to secure a spot in the top five and qualify for European competition for the first time since the 1995-96 season.
- Marinakis pausing control at Forest helps comply with UEFA’s ownership rules and supports Forest’s potential historic entry into the Champions League, which would be the club’s first in the top European tier since 1980-81.
