‘Dad, you’ve been fired’ – Manager reveals he found out he’d been brutally sacked by Premier League club from his KIDS

Former Nottingham Forest manager Vitor Pereira revealed he discovered he had been sacked after his children broke the news to him in the middle of the night. The 58-year-old was dismissed by the club via an email sent at 11:58pm on June 30, despite having guided Forest to Premier League safety. Pereira stated he had received no prior warning and had already been organizing his return for pre-season preparations.

Pereira criticized the club's hierarchy for failing to call him directly to deliver the news, expressing disappointment over the lack of communication. Forest utilized a contractual clause that permitted either party to end the deal before July, subsequently appointing former Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as his successor. Pereira noted that he is currently preparing and waiting for another opportunity to manage in the Premier League.
