According to the unconfirmed claims, current head coach Vítor Pereira is said to be open to bringing the former England international back into the club in a senior coaching role, marking a symbolic reunion with one of Forest’s most iconic figures.
Pearce, who famously captained Forest during one of the club’s golden eras and later managed the team in 2014–15, remains a deeply respected figure among supporters for his passion, leadership, and long-standing connection to the club.
If the move were to happen, it would represent a major emotional boost for fans and could strengthen the club’s identity as they continue to rebuild under Pereira’s leadership.
