"Pereira was speaking to the media for the first time since signing an 18-month deal to become Nottingham Forest's fourth manager of the season. It is just 161 days since Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked, having fallen out with owner Evangelos Marinakis and global sporting director Edu. Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche have since come and gone in a tempestuous season of struggle. Now Forest, who are just one place above the relegation zone, have turned to former Wolves boss Pereira."
"The 57-year-old breezed into the City Ground on Tuesday well aware of the challenge - to keep the club up, and keep Marinakis happy. Pereira is back in management just over three months after being sacked by Wolves, who at that point had taken just two points after 10 games. He regrets not stepping down before the start of the season - first frustrated by what he perceived as the club moving too slowly to secure signings, then unhappy with the players they did deliver."
Vitor Pereira, 57, signed an 18-month deal to become Nottingham Forest's fourth manager this season. Forest sit one place above the relegation zone after a season that saw Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche depart. Pereira returns to management three months after Wolves sacked him following a poor start. He regrets not stepping down earlier and voiced frustration at slow transfer activity and the players delivered, despite approving deals such as winger Jhon Arias. Pereira previously worked under owner Evangelos Marinakis at Olympiakos in 2015, winning a domestic double. One key task is to manage upwards and understand Marinakis's ambitions.
