Overview
- Vítor Pereira confirmed on Wednesday that he had been sacked and said the decision came as a ‘complete surprise’ with no prior warning.
- Multiple outlets report Forest activated a June break clause and emailed Pereira at 11:58pm on June 30, two minutes before the clause expired.
- Oliver Glasner, who left Crystal Palace this summer, is widely reported to be set to take over but Nottingham Forest has declined to comment and no official appointment has been issued.
- Pereira had won eight of 20 matches, secured Premier League safety and led Forest to the Europa League semi-finals during his short spell.
- The move continues a pattern of rapid managerial changes under owner Evangelos Marinakis, which fans warn could disrupt pre-season planning and unsettle the squad and staff.
