Nottingham Forest end Vitor Pereira’s tenure as head coach, with the Portuguese manager saying the club’s decision comes “without any warning.” Multiple reports state Pereira learned of his dismissal suddenly, describing it as a “complete surprise” and adding that he received no prior indication the move was imminent. The Mirror reports that the news was announced to him during an England game, while other outlets similarly reference a lack of advance notice from the club.

Pereira joined Forest in February, signing an 18-month contract at the City Ground. The sack ends his spell as manager after a relatively short period in charge, and the reports focus primarily on the unexpected nature of the termination rather than providing details on match results or specific performance reasons. Forest’s decision is presented as final, with Pereira issuing a statement indicating his time in the role has come to an end.
