Vitor Pereira has signed a deal until the end of next season to become Nottingham Forest<\/a>‘s fourth manager of the campaign and help them avoid relegation from the Premier League. <\/p>\n

The 57-year-old takes over at the City Ground from Sean Dyche, who was sacked early on Thursday morning. <\/p>\n

Forest are yet to officially announce the Portuguese’s appointment, but he is set to return for another spell in English football, having been axed by Wolves<\/a> in November after 11 months in charge.<\/p>\n

The Tricky Trees are 17th in the Premier League, three points above the drop zone, after two wins in their last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Pereira follows Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and Dyche as Forest manager since September.<\/p>\n

They sacked Dyche<\/a> after being held to a disappointing goalless draw by bottom club Wolves<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Pereira, who won 14 of his 38 games in charge of Wolves<\/a> and helped them stay up last season, quickly emerged as the preferred replacement, having worked previously under Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis at Greek club Olympiacos.<\/p>\n

He won the title and Greek Cup in 2014-15 in his six months in charge, before leaving for Fenerbahce. <\/p>\n

Pereira joined Wolves<\/a> in December 2024, but was sacked three months ago with the club on two points from their first 10 league matches.<\/p>\n

He started his managerial career with Portuguese club Sanjoanense in 2004 and, following spells in Germany, China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, he is set to embark on his 15th role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vitor Pereira has signed a deal until the end of next season to become Nottingham Forest‘s fourth manager…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467016,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-467015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
