Nuno Espirito Santo believes VAR in its current form is ruining football and claimed numerous poor decisions are close to breaking the spirit of his Nottingham Forest players.
Forest have been in the eye of the storm this week after appearing to question the integrity of VAR Stuart Attwell in an extraordinary post on X, after three penalty appeals were turned down as Forest lost 2-0 to fellow strugglers Everton last weekend.
Nuno called the use of video technology ‘a mess’ and urged referees to take greater responsibility for their on-field decisions.
‘I was supportive of VAR when it came in but maybe one day not too far in the future we will say football is better without VAR because it’s been a mess,’ said Nuno, whose side face Manchester City on Sunday.
‘My feeling is about referees not taking decisions on the pitch. They did before and they should do it again, with VAR coming after that. The other way around is a huge mistake for the game.
