Nottingham Forest look to be close to announcing the appointment of the man to replace Sean Dyche.
Forest sacked Dyche following a drab 0-0 draw with Wolves, which leaves the club three points clear of safety, but with West Ham below them playing well right now.
Sum up Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest tenure in THREE words
What a mess!
Forest are going to move quickly to get a new manager in place, with the Reds set to play Fenerbahce in the Europa League next week and Liverpool in the Premier League shortly after.
Evangelos Marinakis now looks to be nearing the appointment of a successor for Dyche, with things looking very close to being confirmed as official.

Nottingham Forest close to Vitor Pereira deal
The former Wolves manager is set to replace Dyche at the City Ground, according to a reputable journalist, and if it’s done quickly, he will have a full week to get to know his new squad.
Forest face Fenerbahce away from home next Thursday and after that take on Liverpool on home soil, with the Reds in desperate need of three points from somewhere.
Pereira did well to pull Wolves clear of the relegation zone last season, but found life tricky after his prized assets were stripped from the squad in the summer.

Vitor Pereira is set for the Nottingham Forest job as Sean Dyche’s replacement. Are you happy wit the appointment?

Instead, it’s been a barrage of discontent towards the players and management, and that isn’t sustainable if Forest are to drag themselves out of this situation.
The season isn’t completely unsalvageable and Pereira will see this opportunity as a great chance to prove his Premier League credentials once again.
Thankfully, this has been sorted as a matter of urgency and everyone associated with Forest can start to look forward once again.
