  • Nottingham Forest have appointed Vitor Pereira as their fourth manager of the season, signing an 18-month contract to steer the club away from Premier League relegation.
  • Pereira, a former Wolves boss, arrives with Forest precariously placed in 17th in the table, three points above the drop zone.
  • He previously worked under Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis at Olympiacos, guiding them to a league and cup double in 2014/15.
  • Pereira replaces Sean Dyche, who was sacked after a 0-0 draw with Wolves, following the earlier departures of Ange Postecoglou and Nuno Espirito Santo this season.
  • His first matches in charge will be a Europa League knockout play-off against Fenerbahce, followed by a Premier League fixture against Liverpool.
