Oliver Glasner takes charge of Nottingham Forest, a club in

Nottingham Forest opens a new page in its history by formalizing the arrival of Oliver Glasner as head coach. Aged 51, the Austrian coach arrives in a turbulent context, the English team having experienced no less than five different managers since September last year. He replaces Vitor Pereira, the latest to have tried to put his paw on the 'Tricky Trees' bench.

Glasner does not arrive empty-handed: he has a CV full of titles and exploits. During his time at Crystal Palace, he led the Eagles to heights never before reached by the club. Under his command, the Londoners won the FA Cup, the Community Shield as well as the Europa Conference League, thus offering themselves the first major trophies in their history. A record that will remain engraved in the memories of Selhurst Park.

Despite these successes, Glasner felt the need for a new challenge. His objective at Nottingham Forest is clear: to stabilize the squad and restore pride to an institution with a prestigious past, a double European champion and one of the most passionate supporters in England. On the club's official website, the Austrian did not hide his enthusiasm: “Nottingham Forest is a club with an incredible history, double European champion, with one of the most passionate audiences in football. I am committed to working tirelessly to make supporters proud of their team. »

The task promises to be difficult, since Nottingham Forest have shown a propensity for instability in recent seasons, constantly changing strategy and coach. Glasner succeeds names like Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche and Pereira. Despite these vicissitudes, the club managed to reach the semi-final of the last Europa League, falling against the ogre Aston Villa.

From now on, Glasner is expected to bring continuity and lay the foundations of a solid project. Next season promises to be pivotal for Nottingham Forest, who hope to return to the top of English football for the long term. Glasner’s experience and rigor will be valuable assets to take on this new challenge.
