Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner returns to Selhurst Park for the first time since leaving Crystal Palace, where he led the team to FA Cup and European glory. The Austrian was at the helm during arguably the finest period in Palaces history, guiding the club to its first ever major trophy in 2025 when they triumphed in the worlds oldest club competition.A year later, he repeated the feat but in one of the newest, the Conference League, when they defeated Raya Vallecano in Leipzig. The 52-year-olds time so far at Forest has been somewhat underwhelming, having picked up just one win from their opening five league matches this season to leave them in 13th spot.His former club have fared even worse, finding themselves in 15th place with just four points. It promises to be an emotional but no less competitive reunion for Glasner in south London.
