Oliver Glasner is on the verge of becoming the new head coach of Nottingham Forest, with negotiations between the Austrian manager and the Premier League club reaching an advanced stage.
Glasner, who left Crystal Palace at the end of last season, had been linked with several elite European clubs, most notably AC Milan, before the Italian giants ultimately appointed Rúben Amorim.
A Surprise Managerial Change
In a shocking turn of events, Nottingham Forest decided to part ways with manager Vítor Pereira, despite the Portuguese tactician miraculously saving the club from relegation to the Championship last season.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Forest opened talks with Glasner on Wednesday morning, and both parties have reached a near-final agreement on all personal terms.
-
Contract Duration: A two-year deal.
-
The Ownership: The club is owned by the controversial Greek billionaire, Evangelos Marinakis.
-
The Carousel: Glasner will remarkably become Forest’s fifth manager in less than a year, following Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche, and Vítor Pereira.
Glasner’s Crystal Palace Legacy: The Austrian manager enjoyed a highly successful stint with the Eagles, guiding them to an FA Cup and Community Shield double two seasons ago, followed by a UEFA Conference League title last season.
