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.”
Nottingham Forest can confirm that Vítor Pereira has left his role as Head Coach following the Club’s decision to exercise a mutual break clause in his contract.
His coaching staff – Filipe Almeida, Luis Miguel, Bruno Moura, Marco Knoop and Pedro Lopes – have also left the Club.
We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Vítor and his team for their hard work and commitment throughout their time at the Club.
They represented Forest with enormous dedication, helping to secure the Club’s status in the Premier League, guiding the squad to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League, and providing us with the foundations upon which we will continue to build.
Everyone at Nottingham Forest is grateful for their considerable efforts and for the relationships they forged with our players, staff and supporters.
We thank them all for their service and wish them every success in the next stage of their careers.
🚨 BREAKING: Vitor Pereira statement confirming his Nottingham Forest departure.
"Today marks the end of my journey as Head Coach of Nottingham Forest.
"I want to say a sincere thank you to everyone connected with this incredible football club. Although this decision came as a complete surprise to me and without any warning, I fully respect the club's right to make the decisions it believes are best for its future.
"Naturally, I am disappointed and saddened. I truly believed in what we were building together, and I leave with a sense of pride in everything we achieved over the past months.
"Together, we enjoyed a memorable end to the season. We secured the club's Premier League status, reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, and created moments that will stay with me forever. Most importantly, I saw a group of players grow in confidence, belief and togetherness. Watching them develop, fight for one another and represent this club with passion has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
"I would like to thank my coaching staff, the players, everyone behind the scenes, and especially the supporters. From my first day, your passion, loyalty and unwavering support made me feel incredibly welcome. You were with us through every challenge and every success, and I will always be grateful for that.
"I leave Nottingham Forest with no bitterness or resentment—only respect, gratitude and wonderful memories. Football is full of unexpected moments, and while this chapter has ended sooner than I expected, I will always look back on my time here with pride and affection.
"I wish the players, the staff, the supporters and everyone at Nottingham Forest every success in the future. This is a special club, and I sincerely hope it continues to grow and achieve great things."

Yes we are so rattled by Scotland who beg a rivalry off us, then when we give you that rivalry you crave and take the piss out of your inevitable embarrassment, suddenly we’re obsessed and rattled? 🤣
We find it hilarious brother. You’re the same threat as San Marino.
