Nottingham Forest are signing Benfica’s chief scout Pedro Ferreira, according to the latest reports from Portugal.
The first to break the news was Mais Futebol’s Bruno Andrade, claiming the 41-year-old already has an agreement with the Premier League side.
A Bola then came up to confirm the claims, saying Ferreira is indeed joining his compatriot Nuno Espírito Santo at Nottingham Forest.
Considering that the head scout has been employed by the Eagles for more than ten years, that is considered major news in Portugal. There, he worked as head of scouting, chief youth scout, first team scout, assistant manager, and youth scout.
This is undoubtedly an intriguing addition to Nottingham Forest, who ought to have even better circumstances to retain that kind of player for longer, considering Benfica’s propensity to sign young talent, particularly from South America, and then sell them for much more money.
Ferreira’s arrival may indicate that the Reds have stronger intentions for the club’s long-term prosperity, despite the fact that they are currently going through a difficult time.
Given his success at Benfica, Nottingham Forest have done a very impressive deal here.
