Nottingham Forest parts ways with head coach Vítor Pereira; Elliot Anderson sold

sportsJul 2, 202625237

Nottingham Forest confirmed on July 2 that they have parted ways with head coach Vítor Pereira after a tenure of under five months. The club also announced the sale of midfielder Elliot Anderson to Manchester City for about £116 million, a fee the Nottingham Post says makes Anderson the most expensive English player in history, eclipsing Declan Rice's £105 million move. Forest said formalities for Anderson’s transfer will be completed when he returns from England duty at the FIFA World Cup and that the club will pay tribute to his contribution at an appropriate later date. The Nottingham Post reports Anderson completed a medical in Kansas ahead of the move and that City and Forest reached agreement while he is on international duty. Forest signed Anderson from Newcastle United in summer 2024 for a net £15 million after a swap that valued him at £35 million and sent goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos the other way for £20 million. Swedish outlet Fotbolltransfers reports Oliver Glasner is expected to replace Pereira as head coach, with local reporting and club messaging framing Anderson’s departure and the managerial change as the club’s immediate priorities.

🚨🌳 Oliver Glasner to Nottingham Forest, here we go! Deal in place for former Palace manager to replace Pereira at #NFFC. Glasner will bring key people from his staff and will be involved in transfer decisions.

Wait wot? He left Palace for that shit-show of a club????

I like Forest but not sure why you'd leave Palace for them. Am I missing something?

There are few managers whose minds I’d love to have a peak around more so than Oliver Glasner. One way or another, his tenure at Nottingham Forest is going to be pure cinema. It’s utterly wild that he’s gone there.

Cash. Straight cash. Work for 6 months, get the sack, get the payoff.

I very much enjoyed doing this over two and a half years. He's a very very interesting person

🚨 Exclusive: Nottingham Forest have terminated Vítor Pereira's contract. There was a clause allowing them to do so by 30 June. Forest sent an email to Pereira informing him of his departure at 11.58pm last night. Oliver Glasner set to replace Pereira.

Scab behaviour, I wouldn't expect anything less #lfc

Oh wow. Marinakis is really a madman. It's going to be interesting next season between him and Glasner.

In the future, everyone will manage Nottingham Forest for 15 minutes. And when I say "the future" I mean "starting from tomorrow". #nffc

Glasner is heading to Nottingham Forest in a bold move to unseat Thomas Frank to Spurs as the worst career move by a successful Premier League manager

What an incredible appointment this is for Nottingham Forest! If this means we have patience, stability and a clear direction moving forward, Glasner will be a game changer for our club. #NFFC

Quality goodbye from Vitor. We owe him a lot for the way he got us through the end of a very difficult season. He leaves with his reputation enhanced. Tomorrow expect we announce Glasner which is exciting but first we thank Vitor for the points & enjoy the beers. #nffc

It takes a while for squads to learn his system so it might be a slow start. No Europe will certainly help will 100% go strong in all cup comps. Bottom line is you'll love him! But he will pretty much certainly fall out with the owner. Forest will win something before he's gone though. #cpfc #nffc

Are Nottingham Forest a lot bigger club than Crystal Palace? Glasner left CP going to Forest.. I’m glad he’s staying in this country but extremely surprised. Can he repeat what he did at Palace.. I hope he’s a huge success but surely should’ve moved abroad. Good luck to him at Forest.

Glasner fell out big time with the Crystal Palace board as far as I can understand from that point (half way through the season). Nottingham Forest's owner is a truly unlikable prick with the other point.

Darren Haynes1

I cannot see how Glasner haas done his own due diligence because if he had he wouldn’t take the job
