Vitor Pereira set for first Nottingham Forest press conference after 18-month appointment | OneFootball

Vitor Pereira will face the media for the first time as Nottingham Forest manager this morning after being appointed to succeed Sean Dyche at the City Ground. Forest sit three points above the drop zone.

According to Nottingham Post, the former Wolves boss has signed an 18-month contract and is the club's fourth manager of a tumultuous season.

Pereira kept Wolves in the Premier League last season, then left Molineux in November after losing key players in the transfer window.

He led his first Forest training session on Monday and has only two days to prepare for a Europa League play-off at his former club Fenerbahce. He has said the team will travel to win rather than settle for a draw.

The 57-year-old's first Premier League match in charge is at home to Liverpool on Sunday, February 22. West Ham have hit form under Nuno Espirito Santo, who began the season in charge at the City Ground before being sacked.
