Nottingham Forest’s director of football Pedro Pereira has left the job after just over three months at the club.
Pereira arrived in June and was sporting director at Italian side Fiorentina last season.
His CV also includes a CEO role at Sporting Braga.
His departure came on the same day Chairman Fawaz Al-Hasawi faced abuse from some fans on Twitter, leading him to threaten legal action.
Forest are 18th in the Championship table, having won three and lost five of their 11 league matches so far.
