Sean Dyche was sacked after 25 games in the role
Pereira starts with Europa League tie at Fenerbahce
Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Vítor Pereira as their fourth head coach of the season. The former Wolves manager takes over from Sean Dyche, who was sacked on Thursday, on a contract until June 2027.
Pereira inherits a team one place and three points above the relegation zone. Dyche lasted 25 matches after replacing Ange Postecoglou, who was given eight games as the successor to Nuno Espírito Santo.
Pereira’s first fixture is at Fenerbahce on Thursday in the Europa League, before a home match against Liverpool three days later. The Portuguese, who has worked under Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, at Olympiakos, was sacked by Wolves last November after saving them from relegation the previous season.
