CONGRATS: Nottingham Forest Head Coach Vítor Pereira and Wife Fátima Silva Celebrate the Birth of Twins — With a Special Announcement Involving Chris Wood
It’s a moment of pure joy at the City Ground as Nottingham Forest head coach Vítor Pereira and his wife, Fátima Silva, have officially announced the birth of their twins — a heartwarming milestone that has brought celebration across the entire Forest community.
The club confirmed the wonderful news earlier today, with Pereira sharing an emotional message thanking supporters, staff, and players for their encouragement and well wishes during the final weeks of the pregnancy.
“This is the happiest moment of our lives,” Pereira said. “Fátima has been incredible, and we feel truly blessed to welcome our two beautiful children into the world. We are grateful for the love and support from the Nottingham Forest family.”
But alongside the joyful announcement came a surprising revelation involving Forest striker Chris Wood — a gesture that has added even more emotion to the story.
According to Pereira, Chris Wood played a significant leadership role behind the scenes while the manager balanced professional duties with family commitments. The experienced forward reportedly stepped up in the dressing room, helping maintain focus, discipline, and unity within the squad.
In a touching tribute, Pereira announced that Chris Wood will serve as the twins’ honorary “football godfather” — a symbolic recognition of his leadership, character, and support during an important period for the family.
“Chris represents what leadership truly means,” Pereira stated. “He showed care, responsibility, and strength for the group. In moments like this, you see who people really are.”
Wood, clearly humbled by the mention, responded with warmth.
“It’s an incredible honor,” Wood said. “The manager and his family are part of our football family. We’re all celebrating this beautiful moment together.”
Players were reportedly overjoyed when Pereira shared the news at training, with several teammates presenting baby gifts and customized Forest kits for the newborn twins.
Fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, praising the unity between the manager and his squad. Many described the announcement as a symbol of the strong bond within the club — both on and off the pitch.
As Nottingham Forest continue their campaign, the uplifting news has injected fresh positivity into the camp. For Pereira, it’s a season that now carries double the joy.
Two new members of the Forest family have arrived — and the entire City Ground is celebrating.
