Nottingham Forest | 2026/27 Premier League Season
Nottingham Forest enter 2026/27 with fresh leadership yet again, appointing Oliver Glasner as head coach following Vítor Pereira's departure via a mutual break clause. It's Forest's fifth manager in just over a year, after a chaotic 2025/26 season that saw Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche all come and go before Pereira steadied the ship to a 16th-place finish.
Glasner arrives with a strong recent pedigree, having led Crystal Palace to their first-ever major trophy (the FA Cup), Community Shield success, and a run to the 2026 Conference League final during his time at Selhurst Park. He's expected to implement his trademark 3-4-2-1 system at the City Ground, a significant tactical shift for a Forest squad still built around talisman Morgan Gibbs-White, who topped the club's scoring charts again last season.
It's the club's fifth consecutive season in the Premier League — genuine stability by recent Forest standards, even amid the managerial upheaval — and the campaign kicks off away at Leeds United on Saturday 22 August.
