Nottingham Forest entered the 2026/27 Premier League season with high expectations, following a productive 2024/25 campaign. However, the year didn't go as planned, with four different managers appointed and the threat of relegation to the Championship looming. The new manager, Oliver Glasner, faces an uphill battle to guide Forest back to the top tier.
Glasner's appointment has been met with skepticism, as he is considered "on a hiding to nothing." With that in mind, we evaluate whether Glasner can succeed where previous managers have failed. For the upcoming season, Forest has signed Ousmane Diomande for £34.3 million and Xaver Schlager on a free transfer. They will need more new signings to compete for European qualification.
Glasner's three-four-two-one system, successful at Crystal Palace, could work well with Forest's players. Former Premier League winner Tim Sherwood believes that Glasner can improve Forest's fortunes, given the realistic expectations at the City Ground.
