AI Summary

Nottingham Forest has officially appointed Oliver Glasner as their fifth head coach in less than a year, following the dismissal of Vitor Pereira. This decision comes after Pereira was sacked just two minutes before an exit clause in his contract was set to activate.

Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest, expressed confidence in Glasner, stating, "Oliver is a winner," highlighting their shared vision and ambition for the club's future.

The 51-year-old Glasner previously managed Crystal Palace, where he had a successful tenure, leading them to their first major honor—the FA Cup—in his inaugural season. He also secured the Europa Conference League title last season and guided Palace to victory in the Community Shield against Liverpool.

Glasner's journey with Nottingham Forest began earlier this summer when discussions about his potential appointment were initiated. He expressed enthusiasm about joining the club, noting the clear vision shared by the leadership team and the potential he sees within the squad.

Key points from his appointment include:

  • Glasner's ambition to build a strong future for the club.
  • His record as one of only three coaches to win both the Europa League and Conference League.
  • Marinakis's commitment to reestablish Nottingham Forest among the top clubs in England and Europe.

Marinakis emphasized the goal of not just competing but winning, aiming to create a football club that supporters can take pride in for years to come.
