Pereira Will Get a Good Job Elsewhere
July 4, 2026 · Global
Steve Hodge expressed confidence that Vitor Pereira will find another managerial position after being sacked by Nottingham Forest, highlighting Pereira's success during his time in charge.
Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Steve Hodge believes Vitor Pereira will find a “good job elsewhere” after his successful spell at the City Ground. Pereira was appointed in February as Forest's fourth manager of the season, replacing Sean Dyche. It is understood that Pereira was informed of the club's decision to sever ties with him on Tuesday evening, a move that came as a surprise to the former Wolves coach.
When asked if he had any sympathy for Pereira, Hodge told BBC Radio Nottingham's "Shut Up And Show More Football" podcast: "I don't because managers know that positions can change quickly and they're well paid. He'll get a good job somewhere else. I'm sure he's a bit frustrated but he'll move on."
"His CV is looking good again after successfully keeping Forest in the league and reaching the European semi-finals. The few months he has spent at the club have made him look like the manager you want at your club again."
