Oliver Glasner has become Nottingham Forest's manager, marking the club's fourth managerial appointment within twelve months. The Austrian brings substantial recent success from Crystal Palace, where he guided the club to achievements in the FA Cup and European Conference League before departing in May. His appointment arrives following departures by Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche, and Vitor Pereira, each serving notably brief tenures.

Glasner has signed a three-year contract specifically designed to establish long-term stability, framing commitment to longevity as central to building success. When addressing the risks of joining a club with rapid managerial turnover, he acknowledged the universal desire for permanence whilst accepting that circumstances often create different outcomes. Drawing on his experience at Palace, where he substantially improved the club's results in the latter half of the previous season through tactical adjustments and implementation of consistent playing principles, Glasner indicated his focus remains on effective team organisation rather than predetermined tactical formations.
