Vítor Manuel de Oliveira Lopes Pereira

[TrentEnder1865]

Very surprised at this to be honest. Think the length of time he’s been at other clubs made me think when he was appointed he was going to be a short term fix but the job he’s done he’s more than earned it. Viva pereira !

 

[justnotjase]

Nice! The Athletic article also reference;

"...There is also a desire, as things stand, to keep hold of all of key players in the summer transfer market."

Read into that what you will!

I think that means, if you want any of them, then be prepared to pay heavily.

If the players are happy then it's the right decision. We've shown that when we have a unified and happy fanbase and dressing room, that we can kick on.

I'm praying lessons have been learnt from a year ago.

 

[mysteryduck]

Happy he's staying, yet somehow I'd be amazed if he's still manager in a year's time. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Marco Pascolo]

Happy with this, Players love him and us getting it done early is a nice surprise to fully focus on the summer window

 

[Cortez the Killer]

The status quo needs announcing

Whatever you want.

 

[valspoodle]

Vitor might be one for moving on quite quickly, but he seems to like it here and the club officials and players like him, so for the time being, all seems in balance.

He's also with a Prem club who value his talents, so it would have to be a pretty good offer to tempt him away.

To be fair Ornstein said we didn't want to sell Elanga, we sold him a week later.

 

[YouReds43]

Long Term Contract - I reckon we extend his contract to 2028 with an option to extend further.

 

[isaacs]

Happy and relieved at this in a strange way. When the players, staff and fanbase are as onside as it feels about a manager it makes the idea of changing him a potential trainwreck from the outset.

His interview with Col is interesting too, the main goal is to keep our players and to just add the balance we lack, plans are already underway.

Vitors Red and White Army

 

[Trentend90]

He's done a tremendous job and fully deserves to stay.

 

[uptight9]

This is huge news and I honestly hope it's true.

The togetherness and the confidence that he's brought with him were what had been missing from the team this season. The lack of both of these things was so obvious during both Ange and Dyche's tenures - somewhere, in a parallel universe, this same squad is easily in the top half of the league just having these 2 factors added.

 

[Notcher]

VP is 57 now. It's likely he's reached a point where he doesn't want to be moving every year or 6 months. He'd probably like to get a few years of stability and put some roots down.

 

[Skoosh]

I'm sure the home crowd will show their appreciation for VP on the last day of the season and sing his name loud and proud.!!

 

[Rzar]

It will shut up the noise & allow us to be prepared quickly for the season, great move to do it this early.

I also love the messaging in regards to players, we may all be happy to take the cash for Anderson but EM has shown before he’s more ambitious than the fan base! If we don’t HAVE to sell, we would be better off keeping him than taking the money & reinvesting.

 

[Red Echo]

I'm all in on Vitor now. He brings back that Cooper feeling. Good stuff.

 

[DB1702]

Very happy we need stability or well should I say as much stability as we will ever get under EM. Players seem to love playing for VP.

The main objective VP was set was to stay in the EPL and he did that with 2 games to spare. He also did that with a excellent form. This was not a case of us being really poor over the last 10 games and others being worse. Others around us have been good we have been thankfully better. Pretty much top of the form table over the last 6-7 games

Feel we were very unlucky to go to Villa without MGW, Sangare, Aina, Murillo, CHO. We will never know what could have happened with our best 11. Villa will likely finish top 5 and win the Europa League. Very hard to go there and get a result missing so many key players.

On keeping key players it’s a great attitude to have and I think unless City or United want to pay way over market value for Anderson EM will hold firm. He did with MGW.

We have an owner who wants us to win trophies and compete for trophies. I don’t think he will sell our best players as that makes winning trophies a lot harder.

Unless it’s PSR related I dont see us selling key players under contract unless we are offered big money. Even if we sell you know EM will have done all he could to keep those players.

 

[Erik]

Fair play to him as it gives him a bigger payoff when he's sacked just before Christmas for only having Forest in 10th place with elements of the fanbase moaning that the football isn't good enough and we should be winning every game. He's earned it.

As would Forest!

We have some great pubs too. Always a plus for a points and pints manager.

 

[Trents]

Happy with this. Before the injuries VP had us playing some of the best pressing and attacking tactics I've seen since promotion.

 

[JohnnyCarey]

Great news. When it's the right fit, it would be insane to change it -- and VP is the right fit for Forest. I really don't care what happened in his previous career: Brian Clough was a dreadful manager for Brighton and Leeds. Steve Cooper walked out on Swansea. So what? It's all about the right person in the right place at the right time -- and VP ticks all those boxes.

 

[Mcbeth99]

If the news is true I'll be very happy. It is fantastic what he has achieved that the other 3 managers couldn't. He is liked by the players and the fans and has done what was asked of him even when other relegation candidates didnt fall off but picked up points too as well as a great European run. Furthermore he is a manager that can get the best out of players and has more than one tactic which he is willing to change mid game, even before half time!
As JohnnyCarey said I also dont care about how long (short) he was at other clubs. He deserves the chance to stay a while here and finally give some stability to the club situation whilst we mature in the PL.

 

[Apollo11]

But....but....people on here said he's been briefed to win the EL or else it wouldn't be enough and he'd be sacked.

 

[Captain Sinister]

Forest really seem to need to move away from managerial churn.
There will like as not be quite a lot of player churn.
We don’t want stagnation as that leads to a club going nowhere but downwards.
There is a change mode in world systems called “Dynamic Equilibrium”.
I think that’s what we need at Forest.
