Last updated 1st Jul 2026
Vitor Pereira has confirmed his time as Nottingham Forest manager has ended - saying it came as a "complete surprise" to him "without any warning."
It's understood the Premier League club are talking to former Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner about taking over at the City Ground.
Forest had four managers last season - with Pereira following Sean Dyche, Ange Postecoglou and Nuno Espirito Santo.
Pereira signed an 18-month contract at the City Ground in February and guided Forest to Premier League survival and the Europa League semi-final.
There was a break clause in his contract for June, and it is understood Forest informed the Portuguese they wanted to go in a different direction with the expiry looming.
Pereira had been planning for the new campaign, including pre-season preparations, and was involved in player recruitment meetings.
Reports suggest Oliver Glasner is set to take over following his exit from Crystal Palace at the end of last season.
The club declined to comment when contacted by PA.
Pereira, who also kept Wolves in the Premier League the season before, won eight of his 20 matches in charge of Forest and ensured the club will play a fifth successive season in the top flight.
Former Palace boss Glasner was linked with a number of top jobs across European football after he won the FA Cup in the 2024-25 season followed by the Conference League title a year later.
