Vitor Pereira was shocked to discover that the club would be replacing him.
Former Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is poised to be named the latest Nottingham Forest manager.
Vitor Pereira last night said he was shocked to discover that the Premier League club would be replacing him after he successfully steered them away from relegation.
Glasner led Palace to the Conference League title last season and the FA Cup 12-months before that.
He'll be Forest's fifth manager in less than 12 months.
