Evangelos Marinakis, owner of The Athletic FC, is involved in a bizarre legal battle and is serving a stadium ban after being cited for spitting at match officials. Marinakis is at the centre of a colourful libel case in London's High Court, accusing two people of mounting a coordinated attempt to discredit him after his takeover of Forest in 2017. In U.S. documents, Marinakis claims he was the victim of 'false and defamatory' allegations, including being depicted as being 'deeply and actively involved in international heroin trafficking'. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim will be Manchester United's new head coach after an agreement with Sporting Lisbon was finalised.
