Vitor Pereira: Aiming for the Premier League Title

Vitor Pereira, 58, who left Nottingham Forest over the summer, appeared on the 90+3 programme on A Bola TV in Portugal. Pereira said he has achieved most of the goals in his career and revealed his next aim.

The Portuguese coach listed his goals one by one: managing in the top flight, winning the title in his country, winning a trophy abroad and reaching the Premier League. Pereira's new goal is to reach a level where he can compete for the championship in England.

Asked whether he aims to win the UEFA Champions League, Pereira said he first needs the chance to manage a team that can compete at that level. Recalling his time at Wolverhampton, he stressed that not every club can have the same goal. Pereira said that at the time, keeping the team in the league felt to him like winning the Champions League.

Pereira also expressed his admiration for Pep Guardiola, Roberto De Zerbi and Jorge Jesus. Citing Jesus's self-confidence and determination to put his ideas into practice, Pereira also described how Guardiola quickly applied an idea he had suggested in training. The Portuguese coach also recalled unforgettable matches from his country, such as the Porto-Benfica game.
