"Pereira, who was sacked by Wolves in November after overseeing their dismal start to the 2025-26 campaign, has put pen to paper on an 18-month contract at the City Ground. The 57-year-old takes over a Forest side who sit 17th in the Premier League and three points clear of the bottom three, after playing out a goalless draw with Wolves in midweek. Forest were booed off at the City Ground having registered 35 shots against the division's bottom club, with 10 of those on target."
"Pereira departed Wolves having failed to win his first 10 games of the season (D2 L8), despite being handed an improved three-year contract at Molineux in September. He managed 10 wins from his 32 Premier League games in charge (D5 L17) overall, helping them avoid relegation in 2024-25 after Gary O'Neil oversaw another poor start. As part of that revival in 2024-25, Pereira oversaw a club-record six-game winning run in the Premier League,"
Vitor Pereira has signed an 18-month contract to become Nottingham Forest head coach. The 57-year-old replaces Sean Dyche with the club 17th and three points clear of the relegation zone after a goalless draw with Wolves. Forest registered 35 shots without scoring in that game, the most without a goal in a Premier League match since October 2016. Pereira was sacked by Wolves in November after a poor start to 2025-26, having earlier helped them avoid relegation in 2024-25 and overseen a club-record six-game winning run. Four new coaches join his staff at the City Ground.
