Overview
- Oliver Glasner, who was confirmed on Monday, July 6, will join Nottingham Forest for pre-season and is due to take charge of a friendly at Meadow Lane on July 18.
- Glasner succeeds Vítor Pereira after the club dismissed Pereira late in June, with multiple outlets reporting the manager was told by email two minutes before a contract clause was due to expire.
- The 51-year-old arrives with a strong recent record, having won the 2025 FA Cup, the 2026 UEFA Conference League with Crystal Palace and the 2022 Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Nottingham Forest and local media reported Glasner has signed a multi-year deal, while separate outlets have published an unconfirmed report that his package could place him among the highest-paid managers in the league.
- The appointment is the fifth managerial change at Forest in under a year and it increases expectations on Glasner to deliver trophies and bring stability under owner Evangelos Marinakis.
