Marinakis has identified his ideal successor with the former Wolves boss Victor Pereira Emerging as the frontrunner after a period of unemployment, journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed the move was “almost agree“.

The thread that ties all the forest’s problems together is Marinakis. He has enjoyed great success at the City Ground, but the excitement of last year is a far cry from the struggles of the current campaign.

With in-form West Ham and Burnley, who won at Crystal Palace, quietly rising up the dodgy tree, it will be vital that Edu and his colleagues get their next managerial appointment right.

If it’s Pereira, he might actually be a shrewd one.

Why Pereira might be a good appointment

Pereira was sacked by Wolves at the start of the season but the club struggled after selling Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and Rayan Ait Nouri to Manchester City.

Pereira has made a strong start to the 2024/25 season at Molineux, Expert Alan Shearer even commented He has “done an unbelievable job” for Wolves, helping them escape relegation and lifting the “overall atmosphere” at the club.

Gibbs-White has struggled to replicate last season’s form since the summer, but it’s not his fault that there has been so much turmoil in Nottingham.

Even so, the Three Lions man has created 36 chances in the Premier League, ranking him in the top 10% for this statistic. Additionally, he scored six goals from a midfield position.

While Cunha and Gibbs-White are different styles of players, both possess originality with the ball and have a unique approach to their offense.

In that regard, Pereira’s functional playmaking and emphasis on the No. 10 position could help him integrate into Forest’s system while rekindling the form that won Gibbs-White praise last season, when he contributed 15 direct goals and created 10 big chances in the Premier League.
