Oliver Glasner has become Nottingham Forest's fifth manager in less than a year, tasked with bringing stability to a club where it has been scarce. The managerial merry-go-round has seen frequent changes, with managers like Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche, and Vitor Pereira having short tenures.

Glasner, who has signed a three-year contract, aims to build success on stability and consistency, a foundation he believes is crucial. He acknowledges the high rate of managerial changes in English football but remains focused on his task, stating, "I never sign and think about getting sacked. I just think: 'OK, what do we have to do to bring success to the club?'"

Having successfully steered Crystal Palace from 15th to 10th in the Premier League, Glasner emphasizes adapting to Forest's players rather than imposing a rigid system. He plans to establish clear attacking and defending habits and a shared understanding of play. Glasner is confident in the current squad's potential and anticipates adding quality over quantity in the transfer market, with targets including a midfielder and a goalkeeper, as he looks to improve the team's attacking speed and efficiency.
