Nottingham Forest Set To Replace Pereira With Glasner

The story

BBC Sport - Vitor Pereira is poised to leave Nottingham Forest with the club ready to appoint former Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner as his successor.

BBC Sport understands a deal to appoint the Austrian is virtually done with just the formalities left to complete.

Details

Contact with Glasner, who left the role as Palace manager at the end of last season, was first initiated earlier this summer.

Glasner, who led Palace to the Europa Conference League title last season following their FA Cup success in 2025, will become Forest's fifth manager in fewer than 12 months.

It is understood Pereira was informed of the decision late on Tuesday evening in a move which blindsided the former Wolves boss.

He said in a statement to BBC Sport: "Although this decision came as a complete surprise to me and without any warning, I fully respect the club's right to make the decisions it believes are best for its future.

"Naturally, I am disappointed and saddened. I truly believed in what we were building together, and I leave with a sense of pride in everything we achieved over the past months.

"Together, we enjoyed a memorable end to the season. We secured the club's Premier League status, reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, and created moments that will stay with me forever.
