Glasner becomes Forest's fifth head coach in a year

Nottingham Forest have appointed former Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner as their fifth head coach in less than a year. The Austrian arrives at the City Ground as a replacement for Vitor Pereira, who was sacked on Tuesday. Forest triggered a clause in Pereira's contract, informing him of their decision two minutes before the clause was due to expire in June. Contact with 51-year-old Glasner, who left Palace at the end of last season, was initiated earlier this summer. Nuno Espirito Santo began last season as Forest boss, while Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche and Pereira have had a spell in charge since September. Glasner led Palace to the Europa Conference League title last season following their FA Cup success in 2025. They also won the Community Shield in August, beating Liverpool on penalties. Glasner said in January he would leave at the end of the season because he wanted a new challenge, despite being offered a new contract. He has also managed LASK, Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt - where he won the Europa League in 2022 - before joining Palace in 2024. Pereira, who replaced Dyche in February, guided Forest to 16th in the Premier League - five points above the relegation zone - and the Europa League semi-finals, where they lost to eventual winners Aston Villa.
