'there Should Be No Surprises' If Pereira Takes Over At Forest

Vitor Pereira's dream was to manage in the Premier League.

He has conceded he made too many wrong moves too soon as he tried to plot a path to the England, managing 13 clubs before realising his goal.

That eventually came with Wolves after he came close to joining Everton while having also held talks at different times with Chelsea, Arsenal, Watford and West Brom.

He lasted 11 months at Molineux, after being appointed in December 2024, and initially forged a strong bond with the fans, going drinking with them after victories with the phrase 'first the points, then the pints' coined.

It went sour quickly this season, he clashed with supporters after a 3-2 home defeat to Burnley in October, before eventually being sacked in November following a wretched 3-0 defeat at Fulham.

He could get a second chance with Nottingham Forest - and a deal is looking likely - but there are parallels which could be a concern.

Pereira was unhappy with Wolves' transfer business in the summer - much like Nuno Espirito Santo was at Forest - despite ultimately signing off on the buys.

He felt Wolves were too slow and did not get his first-choice targets, to the extent Pereira regrets not walking away from Molineux at the start of the season.

Yet Pereira at least knows what it is like to work under Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, having managed Olympiacos - a club also owned by the Greek - and won the league with them in 2014-15.

So, if there is an agreement, there should be no surprises between the pair.
