Nottingham in crisis – Glasner is furious: "Then they'll bring in the sixth coach."

Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner issued a stark ultimatum to his squad after a 0-2 defeat against Brentford, stating that if players do not adhere to his tactical instructions, the club will need to appoint a sixth manager this season. The Austrian coach expressed frustration over the team's fifth loss in nine Premier League matches, noting that they sit near the bottom of the table alongside Sunderland. Glasner acknowledged personal responsibility for previous compromises he made during his tenure but declared that such flexibility has ended. He specifically criticized the defense for repeatedly conceding goals from goalkeeper long balls despite prior preparation and highlighted the team’s status as having the weakest attack in the league. The manager emphasized that the recurring nature of these errors requires immediate structural changes, which he intends to implement personally.

Coach Oliver Glasner intends to make significant changes at Forest: "It's time to change things."

Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner acknowledged the club's poor start to the Premier League season after a 0-2 defeat to Brentford, which marked their fifth loss in nine matches. With the team sitting in second-to-last place, Glasner stated that he intends to make significant changes to the squad and tactics, emphasizing that the current performance level is unacceptable. He noted that he could become the fifth head coach to lose his position at the club within just over a year, following the departures of Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Sean Dyche, and Vitor Pereira. Glasner rejected sympathy for his situation, asserting that he joined the club to achieve success and implement the owners' vision rather than for personal comfort. He pledged to end any previous compromises in his management style to turn the team's fortunes around.
