🚨 Forest Hire Glasner - Fifth Boss in 13 Months!

6 July 2026, 12:47
📝 THE FULL PICTURE: Nottingham Forest have officially appointed Oliver Glasner as their fifth head coach in under a year - replacing Vitor Pereira, who was axed just two minutes before a contract exit clause kicked in. Glasner, 51, joins after leading Crystal Palace to the FA Cup and Europa Conference League titles, plus the Community Shield. Forest’s owner Evangelos Marinakis says they share the same “relentless desire to succeed.” Glasner says Forest’s vision and trust sold him - even though he walked away from Palace in January over disagreements with their hierarchy. Nuno, Ange, Dyche, and Pereira all had short, turbulent stints - some clashing with ownership, others fading fast. No European football next year means Glasner gets a clearer runway… but also zero room to fail. 💭 MY TAKE: Let’s be real - this isn’t a coaching job, it’s a high-stakes gamble. Glasner’s got the trophies, but Forest’s a minefield: volatile ownership, a revolving door of managers, and fans who’ve seen hope rise and crash four times in 12 months. If he can’t build stability fast, he’ll join the list of casualties. And let’s not pretend he’s never butted heads with owners - he literally said Palace “abandoned” him. So yeah, trust is fragile. But if it clicks? This could be the spark. If not? Well… welcome to the City Ground. 🔄
