"It has been a typically manic season at Nottingham Forest. Last season, the chaos made way for a surge of positivity, as Forest pushed for Europe under Nuno Espirito Santo, and for plenty of the campaign, it seemed as though Champions League qualification was a real possibility. They eventually fell short, but this season was nevertheless still meant to be a celebration of their success in returning to Europe for the first time in 30 years."
"Last week, owner Evangelos Marinakis dismissed Sean Dyche just a few hours after Forest failed to beat lowly Wolves, leaving them three points above the Premier League relegation zone. Forest had 35 shots in that 0-0 draw on Wednesday, which is the most a team managed by Dyche has ever had in a Premier League match. Forest's 2.55 expected goals (xG) was the second-most xG generated in a match by a team that did not score"
Nottingham Forest suffered a sharp decline after a promising previous campaign that almost yielded Champions League qualification under Nuno Espirito Santo. The club returned to European competition after 30 years but encountered a disastrous follow-up season, resulting in repeated managerial changes. Owner Evangelos Marinakis dismissed Sean Dyche after a 0-0 draw with Wolves despite Forest producing 35 shots and 2.55 expected goals. Vítor Pereira was appointed as the club's fourth head coach of the season. Pereira previously experienced both dismissal and rescue moments at Wolves and will face former club Fenerbahce in Istanbul for his first match.
