Vitor Pereira admitted afterwards that he might well have dished out the Portuguese equivalent of the hairdryer treatment at half-time of Nottingham Forest’s clash with Burnley.

Rather than “shouting at everybody”, as he put it, the approach Pereira took at the interval typified the effect he has had at the City Ground. He headed down the tunnel quickly in order to put instructions and tactical tweaks on the whiteboard so they were there ready for the players to digest as soon as they entered the dressing room.

Pereira has been a calming and stabilising presence since his appointment.

“With everything, there was a bit of noise and it was not good,” Super Eagles full-back Ola Aina admitted after last week’s Europa League quarter-final win over Porto.

“But everything has settled down and everyone is fully focused.

“All I can say is the club, the boys, everyone is happy with him (Pereira) and the way he does things. We are taking that happiness into games and we cannot ask for much more.”
