Glasner vows radical change after Forest loss

In football, Oliver Glasner, after Nottingham Forest's 0‑2 defeat to Brentford in London, faces his fifth defeat in only nine games of the English Premier League and announces that he will now intervene radically to avoid relegation from the penultimate place and to re‑motivate the team.

"It's time for us to change something. That I change something. And that's exactly what I will do," Glasner said at the press conference.

Glasner warned that after the 0‑2 defeat in London to Brentford, as the fifth manager in just over a year, he could lose his job.

Nottingham Forest have recorded only one win in the first nine rounds.

"We have to accept that this is not good enough," he said, adding: "If we lose four of the last five games, that's not good enough."

Glasner emphasized that he knows what needs to be done, demands the players to pull their weight, otherwise the sixth manager will arrive.

Turbulent managerial history at Forest

Since Nuno Espírito Santo's departure in September 2025, Forest have already hired Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche and Vitor Pereira as managers and dismissed them again after a short, unsuccessful spell.

When asked whether he was worried about his future, he replied: "I go home and have breakfast with my family. This is not the worst situation. No one has to feel sorry for Oliver Glasner." He emphasized that at that time he goes home and has breakfast with his family.

Although he could start at another club in two weeks, he stressed that he will not do so, because the players and staff remain in the same situation.

Glasner explained that he did not come to Nottingham out of boredom, but to be successful and to realise the visions of the owner, the fans and the club.

The 52‑year‑old Upper Austrian, who has celebrated great successes at Crystal Palace and Eintracht Frankfurt, announced that he will act without any compromises.

He admitted that at the beginning of his tenure he had made too many compromises on certain points.

He stressed that he does not need to be "loved" by his players, and rejected a player's request to travel alone from London to Nottingham after the Brentford match; he demanded that everyone travel by bus.

He urged the players that if they pull their weight, they could turn things around.

In the next three games, Forest will host Manchester City, travel to Bournemouth, and host Chelsea again.
