Forest axe Pereira, Glasner arrives on three-year deal
Nottingham Forest have ended Vítor Pereira’s tenure and turned to Oliver Glasner in a desperate bid for Premier League stability after five managerial changes in 12 months.
Nottingham Forest have ended Vítor Pereira’s tenure and turned to Oliver Glasner in a desperate bid for Premier League stability after five managerial changes in 12 months.
Nottingham Forest have terminated Vítor Pereira’s contract and appointed Oliver Glasner on a three-year deal after activating a June break clause. The club announced Pereira’s exit on Monday, clearing the way for Glasner to arrive from Crystal Palace with a mandate to steady the ship. Glasner’s contract runs until June 2027, marking the fifth managerial change at the City Ground in under a year—a period that has seen Forest cycle through Steve Cooper, Chris Hughton, Nuno Espírito Santo, and Pereira since June 2023.
Forest’s decision follows a turbulent 2023-24 campaign that ended in a 16th-place finish, six points clear of relegation. Pereira, appointed in December 2023 after Cooper’s dismissal, oversaw 18 months of instability, including a late-season run that included just two wins in their final 11 games. The club’s ownership, led by Evangelos Marinakis, has now gambled on Glasner’s project-based approach, banking on continuity where previous regimes failed.
Glasner leaves Crystal Palace after a single season in south London, where he guided the Eagles to a 14th-place finish in his debut Premier League campaign. His tenure at Palace was marked by defensive solidity but limited attacking returns, a profile that aligns with Forest’s need for pragmatic stability over flair. Forest’s statement framed Glasner’s appointment as a long-term solution: “We are delighted to welcome Oliver and his staff.
” Pereira, who had one year remaining on his deal, will receive compensation under the break clause, though the exact figure has not been disclosed. What's next: Glasner will officially take charge ahead of Forest’s pre-season schedule, with his first competitive game expected in the Premier League curtain-raiser against Arsenal on 17 August. The club’s hierarchy has tied its fortunes to Glasner’s three-year plan, betting that his structured approach can reverse a cycle of managerial turnover that has defined the last 15 months.

Nottingham Forest’s revolving door of managers—five in 12 months—exposed a club adrift in search of identity and stability. Pereira’s exit, triggered by a break clause, underscores the desperation of a project that has lurched from one regime to another without resolution. Glasner’s arrival on a three-year deal signals a high-stakes gamble: can a manager with Premier League experience but no trophy pedigree finally impose order on a squad that has been reshaped repeatedly? The answer will define whether Forest’s owners have finally matched ambition with execution—or doubled down on a cycle of false dawns.
