Nottingham Forest have agreed to appoint Vitor Pereira as their new manager, sources have told ESPN. The former Wolves boss will become the club's fourth manager this season, replacing Sean Dyche who was sacked after just 114 days in charge. Final terms are still being confirmed by both parties.

Forest's decision to turn to Pereira comes after a chaotic campaign that has seen them dismiss three managers already. Dyche was the third to depart following a 0-0 draw with Wolves that left Forest just three points above the relegation zone in 17th place. Pereira, who previously worked with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis at Olympiacos, is seen as the ideal candidate to steer the club away from danger.

Pereira's appointment would set a Premier League record for managerial changes in a single season. His experience keeping Wolves in the top flight last term and his existing relationship with the owner make him a pragmatic choice for a club in crisis. Forest now face the challenge of stabilizing their season with their fourth different manager at the helm.
