Nottingham Forest has appointed Oliver Glasner as their new head coach, the Premier League club confirmed on Monday.
Glasner joins Nottingham Forest from Crystal Palace, where he achieved significant success, culminating in the club's triumph in the Conference League last season. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis praised Glasner, stating, "Oliver is a winner. He has achieved success through his leadership, his personality, and the style of play his teams practice. We believe he is the right person to lead us into this next chapter, and I am delighted to welcome Oliver to the club."
Glasner inherits a team that has experienced considerable managerial instability. The club cycled through four different head coaches during the last season alone. Nuno Espirito Santo was dismissed in September after a difficult start, replaced by Ange Postecoglu. However, Postecoglu was also let go after eight winless matches, leading to Sean Dyche's appointment in October. By February, patience had run out again, and Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira finished the season, successfully guiding the club away from relegation.
Oliver is a winner. He has achieved success through his leadership, his personality, and the style of play his teams practice. We believe that he is the right person to lead us into this next chapter, and I am delighted to welcome Oliver to the club.
