Nottingham Forest have hired Oliver Glasner as their new head coach, making him the fifth manager to take charge of the club in under 12 months. The appointment comes after Vítor Pereira was sacked, reportedly via email, in a move that has become almost routine at the City Ground under owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Glasner has signed a three-year contract with Forest. He will also have a significant role in the club’s transfer decisions, a detail that suggests the club is trying to give this appointment more structural permanence than the last few.
A managerial carousel that won’t stop spinning
Pereira’s departure was particularly unceremonious. Being sacked via email, reportedly just before a contract deadline, is the kind of detail that tells you everything about how the relationship ended.
