Three managers well placed to replace Oliver Glasner at Nottingham Forest
Oliver Glasner could be just days away from the sack at Nottingham Forest after going a fourth consecutive Premier League game without victory.
The Austrian's side drew 1-1 with Ipswich Town at Portman Road, lifting them temporarily out of the relegation zone until the teams below them play.
The 52-year-old was only appointed in the summer and had been so successful with Crystal Palace, but cannot seem to spur his team into form.
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has previously shown no hesitation in sacking underperforming managers, and will be seriously considering Glasner's position.
With games against Brentford, Manchester City, Bournemouth and Chelsea coming up, it will take something special to keep him in the dugout.
A number of managers are available to Nottingham Forest if they are to make a change now, with Football Insider determining the best options.
Eddie Howe
Available having stepped down at Newcastle United in the summer, Eddie Howe is the perfect man for Nottingham Forest.
The 48-year-old is not going to coach a win in every game, but there are few men suited better to leading a project.
The Englishman will be able to unite the team and the fanbase, which he used massively to his advantage at Newcastle.
The City Ground has been an easy place to go for the opposition this season so far - under Howe, it could once again become a fortress.
Thomas Frank
After such a shockingly bad time at Tottenham, there is a general feeling that clubs do not want to touch Thomas Frank with a bargepole.
What has become increasingly evident since his February sacking, however, is that the problems in North London went far beyond the Dane.
His seven years at Brentford, where he took a struggling Championship team to the top half of the Premier League, is a far better period to judge him by.
Nottingham Forest need stability and progress, with Frank having unequivocally proved his ability to produce it.
Thiago Motta
Should Nottingham Forest and Marinakis be ready to take a significant risk, then they may opt for Thiago Motta.
The 44-year-old has been out of work since March 2025, when he was sacked by Juventus after less than a season in charge.
The former PSG midfielder had earned his stripes at Bologna, who he guided to Champions League qualification for the first time in 60 years in the 2023-24 campaign.
Motta struggled with the demands of Juventus but he remains an exciting tactician, who could be ready to make his mark in the Premier League.
