Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday that Glasner is in advanced talks to take over at Nottingham Forest and that some sources expect him to sign a three-year contract, though the club had not issued a formal confirmation.
- Nottingham informed current coach Vítor Pereira of his departure by activating a contractual clause and Pereira said he learned of the decision by e-mail and was surprised by the move.
- Glasner left Crystal Palace after declining to renew his contract and brings a strong trophy record, including the 2025 FA Cup, a subsequent Conference League win and the 2022 Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Forest finished 16th in the Premier League despite reaching the Europa League semi-finals, and owner Evangelos Marinakis has overseen frequent managerial changes that have left the club with little continuity.
- If completed, the hire would task Glasner with stabilising league form and rebuilding a depleted squad while operating under intense scrutiny and limited patience from ownership, so observers should watch for Forest’s official announcement and early summer transfer moves.
