Vitor Pereira has agreed to become the next Nottingham Forest head coach.
According to Sky Sports News reports, final details around the deal are still being sorted, but it is almost certain the former Wolves boss will take over at the City Ground.
Pereira, who will become Forest's fourth manager of the season, will replace Sean Dyche after he was sacked during the early hours of Thursday morning, having been in charge for just 114 days.
The Portuguese head coach kept Wolves up last season after being appointed in December 2024 but was sacked following a poor start to this campaign. Wolves have been contacted as part of the protocol.
News of Dyche's exit came around three hours after Forest's goalless draw with the Premier League's bottom club Wolves. Dyche left Forest three points above the relegation zone with 12 games of the season remaining.
Forest now have a seven-day break before their next game - a Europa League play-off with Fenerbahce next Thursday.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is understood to be frustrated with the club's inability to make the most of the attacking talent available at the club, as well as the inability to move away from the relegation places.

When will Evangelos Marinakis allow ppl to do their jobs? Otherwise it's just pointless. He probably thinks he understands football better than most in the industry..
