🚨 Oliver Glasner on Nottingham Forest Job: 'Nobody Wants a Divorce... But It Happens'

17 July 2026, 16:54
📝 THE FULL PICTURE: Oliver Glasner is the new Nottingham Forest boss, taking over a job that saw four managers in one season. He compared managerial stability to marriage - nobody plans on getting divorced, but 50% of marriages end that way. Glasner signed a three-year deal, hoping for "stability and consistency." He's not thinking about getting sacked, just about bringing success. At Crystal Palace, he finished 10th after saving them from relegation, winning six of his last seven. Now he's rebuilding Forest. He says they won't be "Palace 2," but expects a quicker style, with players like Ola Aina and Neco Williams fitting wing-back roles. They'll look to add a midfielder, goalkeeper, and striker, with Lucas Bergvall a priority. Glasner admits his impatience - he wanted new signings already, but World Cup players are still on vacation. 💭 MY TAKE: Glasner's straight-up honesty is refreshing. Most managers pretend the revolving door doesn't exist, but he's like, "Yeah, it happens, let's just get to work." That's the kind of reality check Forest needs. His track record of turning Palace around? Legit. If he can get this squad pressing faster and stop those backwards passes, Forest might actually keep their manager for a full season. The crazy thing? He's not even worried about the system - just the habits. Dude's got a plan.
