Evangelos Marinakis has been labelled “trigger-happy” after sacking Sean Dyche.
Dyche is the third Nottingham Forest boss to get the bullet this season, after Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou were also fired.
Vitor Pereira, who has worked under Marinakis previously at Olympiacos, is expected to become the club’s fourth manager of an extraordinary season.
Responding to Dyche’s dismissal, which came just hours after a 0-0 Premier League draw with Wolves at the City Ground, which left Forest just three points above the relegation zone, former player Peter Crouch told TNT Sports: “I looked at the (Wolves) game.

“The reason they got rid of the (previous) manager was because they were losing games.
“The fact that Sean Dyche was the manager isn’t the reason they are down there.
“I think it was really trigger-happy.
