The Telegraph published a story that revealed this. So, what did Espirito Santo say Gibbs-White when he arrived to take over for Steve Cooper at Forest? Let’s look more closely.
What Nuno Espirito Santo told Morgan Gibbs-White upon his arrival at Forest.
When Espirito Santo arrived at Forest, there was some controversy about Gibbs-White’s role.
When the head coach was at Wolves, he didn’t choose Gibbs-White and instead loaned him away.
However, the two appeared to have a decent relationship, with Gibbs-White sending Espirito Santo a classy note when he departed Wolves.
Nonetheless, it caused some concern among the fan community, albeit it appears that no one needed to worry.
According to The Telegraph, Gibbs-White was given assurances on day one that he would remain one of the major men at the City Ground.

Gibbs-White joined the club in August 2022, scoring five goals and providing eight assists in his first season.
Nuno gives Gibbs-White a fresh start
One of Steve Cooper’s biggest regrets from this season at Forest could be his decision to experiment with Gibbs-White too frequently.
He was frequently forced to play on the flanks throughout the first half of the season, which did not suit him.
Espirito Santo has continued to play him as the number 10 and put other players around him.
Not only has he maintained committed to his job and kept him as a primary man, but the Forest manager has also given Gibbs-White the opportunity to excel in his best position.
It’s fantastic that Espirito Santo has stepped in and made Gibbs-White a priority. The forward is serious captain material, constantly giving his all to the Forest cause when called upon.
