Vitor Pereira is poised to leave Nottingham Forest<\/a> with the club ready to appoint former Crystal Palace<\/a> boss Oliver Glasner as his successor. <\/p>\n

BBC Sport understands a deal to appoint the Austrian is virtually done with just the formalities left to complete.<\/p>\n

Contact with Glasner, who left the role as Palace manager at the end of last season, was first initiated earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

Glasner, who led Palace to the Europa Conference League title last season following their FA Cup success in 2025, will become Forest’s fifth manager in fewer than 12 months.<\/p>\n

It is understood Pereira was informed of the decision late on Tuesday evening in a move which blindsided the former Wolves<\/a> boss.<\/p>\n

He had a year left on his deal at the City Ground and recently attended a meeting in London to finalise transfer plans.<\/p>\n

Pereira had already planned pre-season in Portugal and Forest were due to play friendlies against Blackburn, Vitoria Guimaraes, Sporting Lisbon, Leverkusen, Barcelona and Udinese over the summer.<\/p>\n

The club rubber stamped a tournament with Udinese and Barcelona earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Contract talks with Pereira were paused last month<\/a> although, at the time, Pereira was committed to resuming discussions later in the year.<\/p>\n

Pereira was appointed in February as Forest’s fourth manager of the season when he replaced Sean Dyche.<\/p>\n

He guided them to 16th in the Premier League and to the Europa League semi-finals, where they lost to eventual winners Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was the first time Forest had reached a European semi final since 1984, while Forest’s 5-0 win at Sunderland<\/a> was their biggest away victory in the top flight since 1995.<\/p>\n

Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou were also sacked by Forest last season, with Dyche lasting 114 days before being replaced by Pereira.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vitor Pereira is poised to leave Nottingham Forest with the club ready to appoint former Crystal Palace boss…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-668307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
