BRAZIL NUTS FOR PEREIRA!

Murillo sees light at end of the tunnel with new boss Vitor

- BY SARAH CLAPSON

MURILLO is convinced Nottingham Forest can build on their winning start to Vitor Pereira's tenure as head coach.

A few days after taking up the City Ground hot seat as Sean Dyche’s replacement, Pereira steered his team to an impressive victory over Fenerbahce.

The Reds took a big step toward the last 16 of the Europa League with their convincing 3-0 playoff first leg triumph in Istanbul on Thursday night.

In a season in which they have had four different managers, securing Premier League survival is the absolute priority in the coming weeks.

But they still have designs on doing well in Europe, and, ahead of tomorrow home clash against Liverpool, Murillo is positive about their prospects of doing both.
