Vitor Pereira is poised to leave Nottingham Forest with the club ready to appoint former Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner as his successor.
BBC Sport understands a deal to appoint the Austrian is virtually done with just the formalities left to complete.
Contact with Glasner, who left the role as Palace manager at the end of last season, was first initiated earlier this summer.
Glasner, who led Palace to the Europa Conference League title last season following their FA Cup success in 2025, will become Forest's fifth manager in fewer than 12 months.
It is understood Pereira was informed of the decision late on Tuesday evening in a move which blindsided the former Wolves boss.
He had a year left on his deal at the City Ground and recently attended a meeting in London to finalise transfer plans.
Pereira had already planned pre-season in Portugal and Forest were due to play friendlies against Blackburn, Vitoria Guimaraes, Sporting Lisbon, Leverkusen, Barcelona and Udinese over the summer.
The club rubber stamped a tournament with Udinese and Barcelona earlier this week.
Contract talks with Pereira were paused last month although, at the time, Pereira was committed to resuming discussions later in the year.
Pereira was appointed in February as Forest's fourth manager of the season when he replaced Sean Dyche.
He guided them to 16th in the Premier League and to the Europa League semi-finals, where they lost to eventual winners Aston Villa.
It was the first time Forest had reached a European semi final since 1984, while Forest's 5-0 win at Sunderland was their biggest away victory in the top flight since 1995.
Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou were also sacked by Forest last season, with Dyche lasting 114 days before being replaced by Pereira.
