Nottingham Forest have appointed Oliver Glasner as their new head coach. The Austrian replaces Vítor Pereira at the Premier League club.
Forest surprisingly dismissed Pereira after he guided the team to the Europa League semi-finals last season. He also helped Forest retain their Premier League status.
Glasner arrives at Forest after a successful spell with Crystal Palace. He guided Palace to the Conference League title and won the FA Cup the previous season.
That FA Cup success gave Palace their first major trophy.
Before joining Palace, Glasner impressed in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt. He also led the German club to the 2022 Europa League title.
Glasner ‘delighted’ to join Forest
In a club statement, Glasner said: “I’m delighted to join Nottingham Forest as head coach.
“From my very first conversations with the owner and the leadership team, it was evident to me that they have a clear vision for this football club and complete trust and belief in me and my staff to build a strong future together over the long term.
“That trust and shared commitment, together with the potential that I see within the squad, were key factors for me – and I am excited about what we can achieve together.
“Nottingham Forest is a club with incredible prestige and history, a two-time European Champion with one of the most passionate fan bases in football.
“Our aim is to build a team that can help take the club to the next level in the years ahead and that our supporters can be proud of.
“My immediate focus is on meeting the players and staff and getting to work as we begin pre-season.
“I’m excited for the future and will work tirelessly to represent this great club with pride and to bring success on the pitch. I can’t wait to get started.”
