Vítor Pereira, ex-Corinthians boss, linked with English club move | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest has dismissed coach Sean Dyche after the draw against Wolves, which left the team just three points above the relegation zone. The club owner, Evangelos Marinakis, lost patience after an “exasperating” performance and has opened talks with Vítor Pereira. The Portuguese coach, formerly of Wolves and Olympiacos, is the favorite to become the team’s fourth manager this season and to avoid relegation.

With previous stints at Corinthians and Flamengo in Brazil, Vítor Pereira is negotiating a contract and could make his debut next Thursday, against Fenerbahçe, in the Europa League. He arrives with the mission to “make a quick impact and reinvigorate the squad,” repeating the success he had when he previously saved Wolves. His familiarity with Marinakis, with whom he worked in Greece, makes it easier to reach an agreement for an immediate response at City Ground.

The internal crisis at Forest is deep. Dyche was dismissed after just 114 days, amid reports that players questioned his methods and that his statements “shifted the blame onto the squad” publicly. Not even the investment in players like Douglas Luiz and Zinchenko brought stability, increasing the pressure on Brazilian Edu Gaspar and the board.

Looking ahead, the main target is Marco Silva, but his arrival would only be possible in the middle of the year. For now, the focus is on survival in the Premier League. With the club in panic behind the scenes, the leadership has made it clear that they “cannot contemplate the possibility of relegation,” demanding urgent results to protect the significant investment made in the last transfer window.
