Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis stormed onto the pitch to confront manager Nuno Espirito Santo following their 2-2 draw with Leicester City on Sunday.
The Greek businessman was spotted in a furious exchange with his manager at the final whistle at the City Ground.
Marinakis charged onto the field as players and coaches were going through their post-match handshakes, making a bee-line for Nuno.
The Greek appeared visibly frustrated, gesticulating animatedly during what seemed to be a forceful conversation with Nuno.

Witnesses observed Marinakis throwing his hands up in the air as he spoke to the Forest boss in an angry manner.
Nuno, for his part, looked resigned to the dressing down, stretching out his arms in an almost shrug-like gesture.
The confrontation came as Forest's Champions League hopes took another significant blow, with the club having slipped to seventh after being in the top three for much of the season.
Forest were held to a 2-2 draw with already-relegated Leicester, missing the chance to move into the top-five after Chelsea's defeat at Newcastle earlier.
Chris Wood's 20th goal of the season had put them on course for victory against their East Midlands rivals.

Morgan Gibbs-White had earlier cancelled out Conor Coady's opener for the visitors.
But Facundo Buonanotte scored the equaliser in the 81st minute, denying Forest a crucial three points.
The result means Forest are no longer in charge of their own Champions League destiny.

Jamie Carragher offered a blunt take on the scenes, responding: "Get off the pitch."
Fellow pundit Gary Neville went further, describing the owner's actions as "scandalous".
The unsavoury scenes at the full-time whistle have overshadowed what was already a disappointing afternoon for Forest.

Despite the disappointing result, Forest have secured European football for next season, a remarkable achievement for the club.
This will be Forest's first European campaign in 30 years, marking a significant milestone in their recent resurgence.
Even with their Champions League hopes dented, Nuno's side still have two games remaining to try and secure a return to Europe's premier club competition.
They face a crucial final-day meeting with Chelsea, though they may need other results to go their way with Aston Villa, Manchester City or Newcastle needing to drop points.
