Oliver Glasner will succeed Vitor Pereira as Nottingham Forest head coach, according to reports.

The change comes after internal movements at the City Ground on July 1, 2026, signaling an unexpected exit for the Portuguese manager after four months in charge.

Discussions regarding Pereira's future are ongoing, but the 57-year-old is not expected to continue into the upcoming season.

This is despite guiding the club to Premier League safety.

Owner's Decision After Heavy Investment

Club owner Evangelos Marinakis made the decision after a season of heavy squad investment and high managerial turnover.

Disappointment over a Europa League semi-final exit against Aston Villa also played a role.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news via social media. He posted: "Nottingham Forest and Vitor Pereira could NOT continue together for the upcoming season.

Understand there’s movement behind the scenes at #NFFC and Pereira could be gone."

The club has not commented at this stage.

The squad is scheduled to face Notts County in a pre-season friendly on July 18 before heading to a training camp in Portugal.
