Nottingham Forest Appoints Oliver Glasner as New Coach

Nottingham Forest has appointed Oliver Glasner as their new head coach, marking the club's fifth managerial change in less than a year. Glasner replaces Vitor Pereira, who was dismissed on Tuesday, just two minutes after his contract expired.

The club's owner, Evangelo Marinaki, described Glasner as a winner and expressed confidence in his vision for the club's future. The 51-year-old coach left Crystal Palace at the end of the previous season, where he had taken charge in 2024, leading the team to their first major trophy in history by winning the FA Cup and later achieving success in the Europa Conference League.

Nottingham Forest has experienced a turbulent period with several managerial changes, including Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche, and Pereira, who guided the team to 16th place in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone. Glasner's appointment is seen as a strategic move to build a successful team capable of competing against top opposition.
