And the Portuguese tactician showed off for his stars from the top of the diving board.
The ex-Wolves boss jumped from the top and dropped expertly head first in front of his stunned squad.
Forest TV recorded Nuno’s stunt and shared it on social media, leaving fans in amazement.
Some of them even used that incredible scene as an opportunity to throw shade at rival managers, such as Liverpool’s Arne Slot, Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola and Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou.
One Forest supporter tweeted: “Nuno’s legendary status grows further.”
Another commented: “Omg. Wow.”
A third wrote: “Pep would be stood at the side talking about the best way to get in the water is to just go down the steps.”
This fan said: “Big Ange & Arne would be doing laps round the lazy river.”
And that one exclaimed: “Nuno doing 10/10 dives off the top board.”
Forest have been enjoying a stunning campaign after two turbulent seasons back in the Premier League that saw them just avoiding relegation back to the Championship.
The Tricky Trees are the Premier League’s surprise package as they sit third in the table with three points separating them from second-placed Arsenal.
High fliers Liverpool are nine points ahead with a game in hand.
