# Nottingham Forest managerial and squad developments > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/nottingham-forest-managerial-and-squad-developments > Updated: 2026-09-09T16:02:33.000Z. Sources: 38. Developments: 5. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis appointed Oliver Glasner as head coach on a three-year contract to establish long-term stability and competitive growth. Glasner, who previously managed Eintracht Frankfurt and Crystal Palace, stated that Marinakis’ ambition was a primary factor in his decision. Following the appointment, the club completed a targeted summer transfer window to support Glasner’s preferred 3-5-2 formation. Key acquisitions included £34 million for Ousmane Diomande, £22 million for Daniel Muñoz, and a potential £50 million deal for Liam Delap. The club also secured Xaver Schlager and goalkeeper Steven Benda on free transfers. Despite interest from Eintracht Frankfurt, Forest retained striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, as the club reportedly demanded more than £30 million for the player and Glasner intends to keep him as an attacking option. As the Premier League season begins, the squad is undergoing tactical adaptation under Glasner. Defender Ola Aina, who has started the first three matches following recovery from a serious hamstring injury, noted that the team is still adjusting to new systems. Following a difficult start that has left the club 16th in the table, Aina stated that players are working to improve results and do not anticipate another battle for survival. Additionally, the squad saw the departure of Taiwo Awoniyi to Coventry City, leaving Aina as the sole Nigerian player at the club. ## Claims - Nottingham Forest has signed Colombian defender Daniel Muñoz.
