Forest move on from Pereira and line up Glasner in latest reset

Nottingham Forest have sacked Vítor Pereira and are preparing to bring in Oliver Glasner as head coach. The change is set to make Glasner the club’s fifth coach in under a year.

The decision was made after Forest used a June break clause in Pereira’s contract. Pereira had guided the club to safety after arriving in February, and the source report says he was surprised by the timing of his exit, which he learned about by email shortly before midnight.

Glasner arrives with recent success on his record after winning the Conference League with Crystal Palace before leaving the club. Forest had previously considered him, and the latest move suggests the club see his style and profile as a route toward greater stability after a turbulent coaching cycle.

For supporters, the central question is whether this is a decisive long-term appointment or another sign of instability. Forest’s recent run through managers means Glasner’s first challenge may be building trust as much as changing tactics.
