The former Wolves boss has taken over at the City Ground on an 18-month deal after Sean Dyche followed Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou out of the door.

Pereira, who kept the Molineux club in the Premier League last season, inherits a team in the thick of a relegation battle, sitting three points above the bottom three with 12 games to go.

He said: "I prefer to speak about the present and the future. But you know this is a difficult season for the players, because it's different methodologies, different managers.

"It's not easy, but I believe the reason why I accept this job is because I believe in the quality of the players, because I believe in the potential of this club, the ambition of the president.

"Of course, I believe that it's possible (to stay up). I believe that we can get points, results and quality in the games."
