Overview
- Nottingham Forest moved for Glasner in early July to replace Vítor Pereira and multiple outlets report the Austrian has signed a multi-year contract to become the club’s new head coach.
- Glasner arrives off a trophy-laden two-year spell at Crystal Palace, where he won the FA Cup, the Community Shield and the UEFA Conference League.
- Sources say Glasner’s deal includes large severance and compensation protections and will make him the club’s highest-paid coach, a structure that increases the financial risk if Marinakis makes another managerial change.
- Tactically Glasner prefers a back-three with wing-backs, a system likely to shift player roles at Forest and create clear winners such as Jair Cunha and risks for traditional wide players.
- The appointment is already affecting transfer business: Eintracht Frankfurt are reported to be waiting for Glasner’s assessment before pursuing a permanent deal for Arnaud Kalimuendo, and pre-season in late July gives the new coach little time to reshape the squad.
