"Vitor Pereira enjoyed a dream start to his Nottingham Forest reign as his new side put one foot in the last 16 of the Europa League with a 3-0 romp at Fenerbahce. Pereira was taking charge of Forest for the first time after he became their fourth manager of a chaotic season and it could not have gone better as they took a decisive lead in the playoff round first leg in Istanbul."
"The Portuguese coach knows all about the atmosphere at the Chobani Stadyumu, having had two spells in charge of the Turkish club. And he watched his side negate the early hostility with an accomplished start that saw them take the match by the scruff of the neck. They took a deserved lead in the 21st minute, silencing the whistling fans."
Vitor Pereira made a winning debut as Nottingham Forest beat Fenerbahce 3-0 in Istanbul, putting the club close to the Europa League last 16. Murillo opened the scoring in the 21st minute after Elliot Anderson's pass, and Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White added further goals to secure a decisive first-leg advantage. Pereira became Forest's fourth manager of the season, with his primary brief to ensure Premier League survival. The result provides confidence ahead of the upcoming home game against Liverpool and gives Forest a strong position before the second leg at the City Ground.
