Glasner Admits Forest's Revolving Door Is On His Mind
Managers·November 2, 2026
Oliver Glasner is well aware of how quickly fortunes can turn at Nottingham Forest. The head coach has openly acknowledged that he could be the next manager shown the door if the team's results do not pick up soon, a sobering admission given the club's recent history at the top of the dugout.
Forest have changed managers four times in just over a year, which is the context Glasner cannot avoid. Each departure has come with its own explanation, but the pattern is the same: patience runs short when the points stop arriving. Glasner's comments make clear that he understands the club's habit and does not expect to be treated any differently if the run of results continues.
For a coach who has already built a reputation elsewhere, the situation is a test of how much time a project is given. Glasner is not asking for sympathy. His message is that the pressure is real, that the squad must respond on the pitch, and that the clock is ticking in a league where mid-table drift can quickly become a relegation conversation.
The wider question for Forest is whether stability can be restored. Repeated changes make it hard for any coach to implement a clear identity, recruit to a consistent plan, or give players the confidence to take risks. Whether Glasner can break that cycle will depend on the next run of fixtures and whether the team shows improvement in the areas that matter most.
For now, the message from the touchline is blunt. Results must improve, and they must improve soon, or another change at the top looks likely.
