Oliver Glasner Impresses Media During Unveiling as New Nottingham Forest Manager
BBC Radio Nottingham’s Colin Fray expressed his admiration for Oliver Glasner, noting that he appeared “very comfortable with the press” during his introduction as the new Nottingham Forest manager.
Glasner addressed reporters for over an hour on Thursday, discussing his ambitions, playing style, and the circumstances surrounding his departure from Crystal Palace, especially given the recent rivalry between the two clubs.

“He talks very eloquently,” Fray shared on the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast. “He’s very happy to be here. There were lots of big, beaming smiles during the light-hearted moments in the press conference, but he also engaged in serious discussion.
“He is not necessarily making grand promises, but he is focused on building solid foundations.”
“Forest fans have heard many first-day interviews from managers over the last decade, but it is clear that this coach has successful methods from his past roles. He openly mentioned his previous clubs.”
“Throughout his career, he has built solidly and has specific, non-negotiable standards for squad development. While this does not guarantee success, it significantly increases the chances of achieving it; without these standards, failure is almost certain.”
