Vitor Pereira has expressed confidence in working under Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, drawing on their successful past collaboration at Olympiacos. The Portuguese manager was appointed after a turbulent season that saw multiple coaching changes at the club. Pereira aims to stabilize the team, which sits three points above the Premier League relegation zone.
Nottingham Forest's new manager, Vitor Pereira, has voiced his trust in the club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, despite the Greek businessman's reputation for unpredictability. Pereira, who previously led Olympiacos—also owned by Marinakis—to a league and cup double in 2015, described the owner as ambitious and emotional. 'He [Marinakis] is ambitious, he wants to win. Emotional, I know him very well,' Pereira said. He recalled the intense energy they shared in Greece: 'I remember the energy and the fire we created at Olympiacos.' Pereira emphasized their mutual trust: 'We created a good relationship, he trusts my work, I trust his personality. I think we need passion too.'
