- Ex-Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner is under consideration by Nottingham Forest
- Current manager Steve Cooper is facing pressure after string of poor results
- Why Cooper’s sacking at Forest could have a domino effect in the Premier League – It’s All Kicking Off
Former Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Olivier Glasner is emerging as a managerial option for Nottingham Forest amid the uncertainty over Steve Cooper’s future.
Cooper’s position at the City Ground is under threat following a difficult run of one victory in 12 matches.
Saturday’s draw at Wolves helped stem a sequence of four consecutive losses but the danger to Cooper’s job remains ahead of Friday’s visit of Tottenham.
And Glasner is a coach that is under consideration by the Forest hierarchy as a potential replacement should they decide to part with Cooper.
The 49-year-old left Eintracht Frankfurt at the end of last season and was an early contender to replace Antonio Conte at Tottenham, while Crystal Palace also showed an initial interest in the Austrian prior to handing Roy Hodgson an extra 12 months in charge.

Forest have lost eight games this season and are sinking towards the relegation zone
Glasner is currently out of work but it is unclear as to whether he would be open to a return to football with Forest, although it is understood that he is ken to work in the Premier League.
The ex-Wolfsburg head coach won the Europa League with Eintracht in 2022.
Julen Lopetgui is another coach of interest to Forest. Lopetgui has experience of the Premier League having left his role with Wolves ahead of the current season.
