Nottingham Forest Sack Vítor Pereira Ahead of New Season
Premier League club Nottingham Forest have reportedly dismissed head coach Vítor Pereira after activating a termination clause in his contract before the June 30 deadline.
According to reports, the club formally notified the 56-year-old Portuguese manager via email just before midnight on Monday, ending his tenure despite him having already completed plans for the team's pre-season programme.
Pereira had reportedly organised a training camp in Portugal and scheduled friendly matches against Udinese and Barcelona as part of Forest's preparations for the 2026/27 campaign.
The unexpected decision has sparked discussion among supporters, given the advanced stage of the club's pre-season planning.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Oliver Glasner is now the leading candidate to take over as Nottingham Forest's new head coach, although the club has yet to make an official announcement regarding the managerial change.
An official statement from Nottingham Forest is expected to provide further details on Pereira's departure and the club's plans for the new season.
