Австри мэргэжилтэн Оливер Гласнер Ноттингем Форесттай гурван жилийн гэрээ байгуулж, сүүлийн нэг жилийн хугацаанд тус клубийн дөрөв дэх үндсэн дасгалжуулагч боллоо.
Тэрээр ажлаас халагдах эрсдэлийн талаар санаа зовохгүй байгаа бөгөөд зөвхөн багийн амжилт, тогтвортой байдлыг хангах тал дээр төвлөрч буйгаа илэрхийлэв. Өнгөрсөн хугацаанд Витор Перейра, Анге Постекоглу, Шон Дайч нарын удирдлагад байсан Ноттингем Форест тогтворгүй байдлыг даван туулахыг зорьж байна.
Гласнер өмнө нь Кристал Пэласыг удирдаж байхдаа FA Cup болон Европын Конференцын лигт амжилт гаргасан туршлагатай. Гэвч тэрээр Ноттингем Форестыг өмнөх багийнхаа яг хуулбар болгохгүй гэдгээ мэдэгдээд, тоглогчдын хамгийн сайн тоглох байрлал болон багийн хэв маягийг шинээр төлөвшүүлэхээ онцоллоо.
Трансфер наймааны тухайд, Эллиот Андерсон Манчестер Сити рүү явсны дараа хагас хамгаалагч, хаалгач болон довтлогч шинээр элсүүлэх шаардлагатай байгааг тэрээр дурдав. Дэлхийн аваргын тэмцээнд оролцсон тоглогчид амралттай байгаа тул шинээр ирэх тоглогчдын асуудлыг Португалд болох бэлтгэлийн үеэр шийдвэрлэхээр төлөвлөж байна.
Гласнер бямба гарагт болох Ноттс Каунтигийн эсрэг нөхөрсөг тоглолтод анх удаа баг удирдан оролцоно.

Oliver Glasner insists he never thinks about being sacked after becoming Nottingham Forest’s fourth permanent manager in less than a year.
The Austrian was unveiled at the City Ground on Wednesday after signing a three-year contract following his departure from Crystal Palace at the end of last season.
Despite Forest’s recent managerial turmoil, Glasner says he is focused only on bringing success and stability back to the club.
“I never sign and think about getting sacked,” the 51-year-old said.
“I just think: ‘OK, what do we have to do to bring success to the club?’”
Glasner replaces Vitor Pereira after a turbulent period that also saw Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche occupy the dugout over the last 12 months.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s departure last summer started the managerial carousel, with Forest changing coaches four times since September.
However, Glasner believes long-term stability remains the ambition for everyone involved.
“Nobody wants to get divorced. I don’t know how it’s in England but in Austria it’s 50% [the divorce rate],” he joked.
“So when you ask them at the wedding, they would say ‘yeah, not us’ but it happens.
“Every single club wants to have the same manager for a decade, have the same players as long as possible but that’s just not the real world – due to different reasons, due to different expectations, different plans in your life.”
Forest will not become “Palace 2”
Glasner arrives with an impressive reputation after guiding Crystal Palace to FA Cup and Europa Conference League success before stepping down in May.
His Palace side became known for their aggressive pressing and quick transitions, often operating with a back three.
However, he warned supporters not to expect a carbon copy at the City Ground.
“We are not here to be Palace 2,” Glasner said.
“The habits and the patterns are important, how to attack and defend, the spirit you create, to create a shared way of playing and understanding of what we want to do.
“I told the players I don’t know if we will play a back four or back three, we will get the players where they feel comfortable and it’s important they all play in their best positions.
“Get to know the players and find the right system but the patterns and the habits will be the same as at previous clubs.”
Transfer business expected to accelerate
Forest are not planning another summer of wholesale spending following last year’s £180 million recruitment drive, with quality now taking priority over quantity.
A midfielder remains a priority following Elliot Anderson’s record move to Manchester City, while the club are also targeting a goalkeeper and another striker.
Glasner admitted he would ideally have his new signings through the door already, but expects movement once players return from the World Cup.
“I have one strength and weakness – it’s impatience,” he said.
“Sometimes it’s a strength, sometimes it’s a weakness. Of course, I would have hoped they had already trained with us.
“It’s impossible because the players we’re now talking to played at the World Cup so are still on vacation.
“I’m pretty convinced we will have a few players joining us in Portugal.”
The former Eintracht Frankfurt boss takes charge of his first match on Saturday when Forest face Notts County in a pre-season friendly.
