He has signed a contract with the club, though terms were not disclosed.
Shared Vision and Ambition
Club owner Evangelos Marinakis expressed confidence in the appointment, stating that Glasner aligns with the club's long-term competitive goals.
"In our conversations with Oliver, it became clear that we share the same vision, the same ambition, and the same tireless will to succeed," Marinakis said.

"He has proven time and again throughout his entire career that he can build outstanding teams and prevail against the strongest competition," he added.
Glasner succeeds Pereira, who had only been appointed in February. Pereira described his dismissal as "completely surprising and without any warning."
The change marks the fifth managerial switch at Nottingham Forest in 12 months, following Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche, and Pereira.
