Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Vítor Pereira as head coach on an 18-month contract, marking yet another managerial change in a turbulent season at the City Ground.
Pereira becomes Forest’s fourth permanent manager of the campaign following the dismissal of Sean Dyche. The club currently sits just above the Premier League relegation zone, separated from the bottom three by a narrow margin with roughly a dozen matches remaining.
The Portuguese manager arrives with experience across Europe, including prior Premier League time with Wolves. Forest’s leadership is betting on his ability to stabilize results and restore structure during the season’s most critical stretch.
Pereira’s first assignment will come quickly, with Forest preparing for a Europa League playoff tie against Fenerbahçe, adding immediate pressure to an already delicate league situation.
The decision underscores the urgency inside the club as it fights to preserve its Premier League status and reestablish long-term direction.
