Nottingham Forest have moved quickly to identify a replacement for Sean Dyche following his dismissal. The club has targeted Vitor Pereira, the Portuguese manager who previously worked at Wolves, as their preferred candidate to take over at the City Ground.

According to reports, Forest officials want to make a quick appointment to stabilize the team after Dyche's departure. The decision comes amid pressure to improve results immediately, with the club sitting in the lower half of the table and needing fresh direction to secure their Premier League status.

Pereira brings experience from various European leagues and a reputation for tactical flexibility. His potential appointment would mark a significant shift in style for Forest, who have struggled for consistency this season. The club's management believes his approach could unlock greater potential from the current squad.
