Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the appointment of Oliver Glasner as the Club’s new Head Coach.
One of Europe's most respected and progressive coaches, Glasner joins Forest with an outstanding reputation for developing players, building ambitious attacking teams and delivering success at the highest level of the game. His leadership, tactical expertise and winning mentality make him the ideal person to lead the Club into its next chapter.
Glasner arrives at Forest having become only the third head coach to win both the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Conference League. His European success, together with domestic silverware in England, underlines his track record of building winning teams.
He guided VfL Wolfsburg to UEFA Champions League qualification before leading Eintracht Frankfurt to victory in the 2021/22 UEFA Europa League, securing the club's first major European trophy in more than four decades. During his time in Germany, his teams earned widespread admiration for their intensity, tactical organisation and attacking style of play.
Most recently, Glasner made an immediate impact in English football, winning the 2024/25 FA Cup in his first full season in the Premier League, followed by the FA Community Shield, before going on to win the UEFA Conference League the following season.
Speaking of his appointment, Oliver Glasner said:
“I’m delighted to join Nottingham Forest as head coach. 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.”
Owner Evangelos Marinakis said:
"In our discussions with Oliver, it was clear that we share the same vision, the same ambition and the same relentless desire to succeed. He has consistently demonstrated throughout his career that he can build outstanding teams and deliver success against the strongest competition.
"It has always been our goal to establish Nottingham Forest once again among the leading clubs in England and Europe. Our ambition is not simply to compete – our ambition is to win, to challenge for major honours and to create a football club that our supporters can be proud of for many years to come.
"Oliver is a winner. He has earned success through his leadership, his personality and the style of football his teams play. We believe he is the right person to lead us into this next chapter, and I am delighted to welcome Oliver to the Club.”
@PalaceReport RWB, CB, CM, 2 x 10's. Not convinced by our attack at all need more quality and depth. Nwaneri and Sancho on a free would be sensational!
I want to be positive but just dont see how you win a world cup with Madueke and Gordon as your wingers. If Saka's fitness was this much of an issue had to take one of Palmer and Foden. While Rashford and Rogers both offer more than Gordon.
🚨 Noni Madueke + Anthony Gordon expected to start either side of Jude Bellingham for #England in opening #2026FIFAWorldCup match against #Croatia. As anticipated, trio set to support captain Harry Kane amid management of Bukayo Saka fitness @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/WguKSAbaaw
Ah sickner.... just as it felt like it was falling into place, but was probably too good to be true. Getting very fed up of these so called big clubs... cant help but feel Salah's outburst resulted in this, if only he left quietly! #CPFC
🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ARNE SLOT AND LIVERPOOL TO PART WAYS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. 💣
It’s over between the Dutch manager and Liverpool after end of the season review. 👋🏼
Andoni Iraola, clear favorite to take over as next #LFC head coach.
Winning in Leipzig would be amazing but domestically this season has been horrible ever since we won at Fulham in December. A real struggle and will be glad to see the back of it.

@Mark_CPFC Would love us to sign a left-footed wide player in the Olise mould for balance. Think we should be all over Nwaneri this summer, very Palace.
@GeorgeHilder5@BobbyManzi Not at all, he barely touched him, barley pulled him back, outside the box and Henderson wouldve got there first. Apart from that a clear penalty and red card!
@GeorgeHilder5@BobbyManzi George are you really that negative about us, that you can't acknowledge when we have been screwed? Absolutley nothing in that, never even a foul.
