Nottingham Forest coaching transition

Entities: Rui Borges · Estádio Algarve · Sporting Clube de Portugal · Oliver Glasner · Rafael Nel

Overview

In early July 2026 Nottingham Forest ended Vítor Pereira’s spell and hired Austrian Oliver Glasner on a three‑year contract, granting him authority over transfers. Glasner opened his tenure with a pre‑season camp in the Algarve, arranging friendlies to instil his tactics.

The first game, a 2‑2 draw with Vitória de Guimarães, featured the return of striker Chris Wood, who supplied two assists, and the debut of midfielder Xaver Schlager. The camp continued on 31 July with a historic friendly against Sporting CP. Forest fell 4‑1; Igor Jesus scored after 1 minute 38 seconds, but Sporting equalised and then pulled ahead through goals by Pedro Gonçalves, Conrad Harder and Francisco Trincão. The defeat marked Forest’s first loss in the pre‑season after an unbeaten run, while Sporting used the match as their final warm‑up before the Primeira Liga season.

Glasner’s contract runs to June 2029, and the mixed pre‑season results suggest a methodical build‑up to the 2026‑27 Premier League campaign.
