Nottingham Forest

have confirmed the appointment of

Oliver Glasner

as the club's new head coach.

The Austrian had a hugely successful stint at

Crystal Palace

in which he won the FA Cup, UEFA Conference League, and Community Shield in just over two seasons with the Eagles.

However, Palace weren't able to convince Glasner to stay at the club and he has now moved to

, replacing Vítor Pereira who had helped established the team's

Premier League

status.

"I’m delighted to join

as head coach," the 51-year old said on his appointment.

"From my very first conversations with the owner and the leadership team, it was evident to me that they have a clear vision for this football club and complete trust and belief in me and my staff to build a strong future together over the long term. That trust and shared commitment, together with the potential that I see within the squad, were key factors for me and I am excited about what we can achieve together.

"Nottingham Forest is a club with incredible prestige and history, a two-time European Champion with one of the most passionate fan bases in football. Our aim is to build a team that can help take the club to the next level in the years ahead and that our supporters can be proud of.

"My immediate focus is on meeting the players and staff and getting to work as we begin pre-season. I’m excited for the future and will work tirelessly to represent this great club with pride and to bring success on the pitch. I can’t wait to get started."

Forest kick-off the 2026/27
