‘He trusts my work, I trust his personality’
Coach and owner have worked together at Olympiakos
Vítor Pereira believes the trust he has with Nottingham Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, means he can survive the poisoned chalice of the City Ground job.
The Portuguese has become Forest’s fourth manager of the season after Sean Dyche followed Nuno Espírito Santo and Ange Postecoglou out of the door as Marinakis acted in an attempt to avoid Premier League relegation.
Pereira has worked previously with the Greek businessman – guiding the Greek club Olympiakos to a league and cup double more than a decade ago – and believes that stands him in good stead.
