Nottingham Forest

Whether it indeed be Vitor Pereira or someone else, Nottingham Forest's next batch of fixtures do not make for pretty reading for the upcoming manager.

Not only is there two Europa League play off matches to juggle, but there are some incredibly challenging Premier League fixtures on the horizon.

A game against champions Liverpool, plus a trip to the Etihad Stadium are on the agenda.

Nottingham Forest's next seven:

• Fenerbahce (a) - Europa League first leg
• Liverpool (h)
• Fenerbahce (h) - Europa league second leg
• Brighton (a)
• Man City (a)
• Fulham (h)
• Tottenham (a)

While Nottingham Forest may not be looking at silverware in the short-term, Vitor Pereira does have a decent history of bringing it in.

He has won six titles in his career, four of which were league titles - including the Greek Super League under the ownership of Evangelos Marinakis...

And with the Europa League still to play for, well, you never know...

Pereira's managerial honours:

• Portuguese Primeira Liga (2011-12 & 2012-13)
• Greek Super League (2014-15)
• Greek Cup (2014-15)
• Chinese Super League (2018)
• Chinese FA Super Cup (2019)

Vitor Pereira has been largely successful everywhere he has managed.

He has very hefty win percentages at near every club he has been in charge of - other than Wolves.

His win percentage at the Molineux side is the second lowest of his entire managerial career, with only his spell at 1860 Munich offering up worse results.

Pereira won 14 of his 38 games in charge of Wolves giving him a win percentage of 38.84%, while his record at 1860 Munich saw him finish with 30.00% on the dot.

On average across the 13 clubs he has managed, he has a very impressive 52.94% win rate.

As mentioned before, Vitor Pereira has quite the managerial history.

He has managed 13 different clubs since his first senior role in 2004 but has never spent more than three seasons at one team and has surpassed the 100 game marker just once in his career.

Pereira's senior management jobs:

• Sanjoanense (2004-2005)
• Espinho (2005-2007)
• Santa Clara (2008-2010)
• Porto (2011-2013)
• Al-Ahli (2013-2014)
• Olympiakos (2015-2015)
• Fenerbahce (2015-2016)
• 1860 Munich (2017-2017)
• Shanghai SIPG (2017-2020)
• Fenerbahce (2021-21)
• Corinthians (2022-2022)
• Flamengo (2023-2023)
• Al-Shabab (2024-2024)
• Wolves (2024-2025)

Nottingham Forest's 3-1 defeat at Leeds on Friday was the pivotal game for Sean Dyche.

By then Forest had already started to consider their options with Vitor Pereira on the radar before the loss at Elland Road.

The interest was mutual - Pereira has wanted a swift return to the Premier League since his Wolves sacking in November - which allowed Forest to announce Dyche's departure in the early hours of Thursday morning after the 0-0 draw with Wolves.

Sources suggest he struggled to bond with some of the players and they questioned his methods and tactics, as he focused on the physicality of the squad over style and technical ability.

There was still a reluctance to part ways but the decision drags more chaos into the club and only questions the judgement and temperament of owner Evangelos Marinakis.

With a week before their Europa League play-off first leg at Fenerbahce - one of Pereira's former clubs - there is no immediate rush for an appointment before the weekend but the situation can always move at pace.

Wolverhampton Wandererssacked head coach Vitor Pereira after 11 months in charge with the club failing to win any of their opening 10 Premier League games of 2025-26.

Wolves were 19th when Pereira replaced Gary O'Neil in December 2024, and he guided them to safety by finishing 16th.

His arrival midway through last season signalled a significant change in fortunes for Wolves who ended up surviving comfortably, helped by a six-match winning run.

Such was the success of Pereira in his short time at Wolves, the club rewarded him with a new three year contract in September 2025.

However, Pereira lost several key players in the summer, with Matheus Cunha moving to Manchester United for £62.5m, Rayan Ait-Nouri joining Manchester City for £31m and captain Nelson Semedo departing for Fenerbahce when his contract expired.

Speculation over the future of Norway striker Jorgen Strand Larsen also proved an unwelcome distraction and the winless start ultimately led to his sacking, just two months after signing his new deal.

We brought you the news earlier that Nottingham Forest had opened talks with Vitor Pereira over becoming their new manager.

A former professional midfielder and experienced head coach, Pereira has managed 13 teams during his career - most recently taking charge of Premier League side Wolves.

He has had spells at some of the biggest names in world football including Porto, Flamengo and Fenerbahce.

The Portuguese manager has also worked under Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis previously at Olympiakos.

He took charge of the Greek club in January 2015 and led them to a league and cup double but left by mutual consent in June of the same year.

His spell at Olympiakos came during a period where he managed five different clubs in eight years.

Forest are going to have talks with Vitor Pereira, former Wolves manager, who was impressive last season keeping them up and if everything goes to plan with regards to the discussions Pereira has a good chance of replacing Dyche.

What a morning so far on the live page.

We have been across all the reaction and analysis to the news that Nottingham Forest sacked Sean Dyche after 114 days in charge during the early hours.

Here are the best bits from today so far:

• Forest released a 57-word statement announcing the departure of Dyche at 12:31 this morning
• And they have quickly begun their search for their new man - holding talks with former Wolves boss Vitor Pereira
• Watch: Highlights of the 0-0 draw between Forest and Wolves which would prove to be Dyche's last game in charge
• Poll: You can have your say on whether it was the right decision here
• Dyche was up for the Premier League manager of the month award... just last week

• You have been getting in touch in your droves - here is some of your reaction

Any Olympiakos fans out there today? You may be thinking, "what's all the fuss?".

Having four permanent managers in one season may be about to set a new record in the Premier League but Olympiakos, also owned by Evangelos Marinakis, have gone through their fair share of managers over the years since he took over.

In 2022, they appointed Carlos Corberan and then went through six managers in the next 16 months (though some of those were caretakers).

Here's how that panned out and how long they all lasted under Marinakis:

• Carlos Corberan - 48 days
• Michel - 194 days
• Jose Anigo (caretaker) - 88 days
• Diego Martinez - 157 days
• Carlos Carvalhal - 65 days
• Sotiris Silaidopoulos (caretaker) - 3 days

However, there is hope for any new Forest manager. The current manager, Jose Luis Mandilibar, has been at the helm for 732 days, the second-longest serving manager they've had since the 90s.

More from Michael Dawson who says having Dyche at the helm was the best chance Forest had of staying in the Premier League.

He said: "It's just got to be a quick fix for me now. They haven't got time to think past this Premier League.

"Vitor Pereira has been linked. I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been linked. I have got no idea who's going to come in.

"Vitor Pereira went into Wolves when they were in a position last year and kept them up. Players left and you see where they are now. So I have got absolutely no idea.

"Sean Dyche, for me, was the man who gives Nottingham Forest every chance of staying in the league."
