Switching managers and sacking Shawn Dyche was smart, needed, and justified!
Vitor Pereira has taken his position with Nottingham Forest and is going to be the first team manager under contract for 18 months.
“Vitor Pereira is certainly an upgrade to Dyche. “
His teams are playing good football with high tempo and are good to watch. They have a structural stamp and openings in the middle. Periira is defending structurally, and it is flexible.“
Dyche is, on the other hand, not tactical and is leading the game on instant football without tactical coverage.
That is something that does not suit Nottingham Forrest and Dyche deserved to be sacked from a football perspective. Completely.
The problem lies in:
The beginning of his era in Nottingham Forest will not be great, and Pereira and Nottingham Forest will need 2 or 3 matches to start operating, and it is possible there is not enough time for Nottingham Forest in terms of relegation.
Pereira will need a few weeks to improve his team and take them to better sides and better football.
Pereira’s preferences, tactical setup:
Nottingham Forest are playing their elimination match against Fenerbahçe with their new manager, Vítor Pereira, who is fully focused on securing survival in the league.
The former Wolves manager prefers a Spanish-Portuguese style of football based on possession, combinations, fluidity and passing. His teams play very attractive football, built on physical intensity, with a fluid and flexible structure on the pitch.
Nottingham Forest now has a coach who wants to play stylish, possession-based football and who could bring real evolution to this talented squad. Pereira can integrate many of these players easily, and they have the quality to respond on the pitch.
He prefers possession, a fluid midfield unit and a high number of midfield players. With this talented Nottingham Forest squad and generation, Vítor Pereira can position the team perfectly and put Forest back on the right path.
However, in the first few matches, there will need to be a period of adaptation, so as we said, the next two or three games may not immediately bring success.
With Pereira, Nottingham Forest will play a Portuguese-influenced, technically refined style with strong physical demands. The club has brought in a manager with strong leadership characteristics and experience. His football is attractive and also demanding, which should bring defensive discipline and great midfield compactness.
The stamp of Vítor Pereira could be very positive for Forest in the long term. Unlike some managers, he tends to achieve complete success in the clubs and relies on watchable, attractive football with passes, possession and very little wide play.
Nottingham Forest has a fantastic group of players and a very solid team. They can be used perfectly in positions and can suit Victor Pereira’s football style and preferences.
Talking long term, we could see a huge chemistry between him, the team and Nottingham Forrest supporters. Players are so great and can adjust perfectly in the team. This group of Nottingham Forest is incredible and is playing the Europa League for a reason, and they earned it
Pereira has signed an 18-month contract with Nottingham Forest.
