Nottingham Forest Appoints Oliver Glasner as New Manager After Vítor Pereira's Departure
維多·佩雷拉離職，諾丁漢森林任命奧利佛·格拉斯納為新任總教練
Introduction
Nottingham Forest has ended the contract of head coach Vítor Pereira and appointed Oliver Glasner as his replacement.
諾丁漢森林已終止與總教練維多·佩雷拉的合約，並任命奧利佛·格拉斯納接任。
Main Body
The club decided to end Vítor Pereira's contract in June by using a specific break clause. Although Pereira helped the team stay in the Premier League and reach a Europa League semi-final, he was informed of his dismissal via email late at night. This happened while the coach was still actively planning for the pre-season and working on new player signings. Consequently, Pereira described the decision as a complete surprise since he had received no prior warning.
球團決定在六月利用一項特定的解約條款，終止維多·佩雷拉的合約。雖然佩雷拉幫助球隊留在英超並闖入歐聯準決賽，但他卻在深夜收到一封電子郵件通知他被解雇。當時總教練仍在積極規劃季前賽並處理新球員的簽約工作。因此，佩雷拉將此決定形容為完全出乎意料，因為他事先未收到任何警告。
This change follows a period of significant instability at the club, which has had five different head coaches in less than a year. This list includes Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, and Sean Dyche, who struggled with poor relationships with some players. As a result of this constant change, the team finished the season in sixteenth place.
這次變動發生在球團極不穩定的時期，在不到一年的時間內換了五位不同的總教練。名單包括 Nuno Espírito Santo、Ange Postecoglou 和 Sean Dyche，他們在與部分球員的關係處理上十分掙扎。由於頻繁的更替，球隊本賽季最終僅排名第十六位。
Technical Director George Syrianos stated that Oliver Glasner is a strategic improvement because his tactical style fits the current squad better. Glasner has a strong professional record, having won the FA Cup, the Community Shield, and the Conference League during his time at Crystal Palace. His appointment aims to bring long-term stability to the club. Meanwhile, the team is managing player changes, as Elliot Anderson is expected to move to Manchester City for £116 million, leading the club to target Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham as a replacement.
技術總監 George Syrianos 表示，奧利佛·格拉斯納是一次戰術上的提升，因為他的戰術風格更契合目前的球員陣容。格拉斯納擁有強大的專業紀錄，在水晶宮期間曾贏得足總盃、社區盾及歐協聯。他的任命旨在為球團帶來長期穩定。與此同時，球隊正在處理球員變動，據悉 Elliot Anderson 預計將以 1.16 億英鎊轉會至曼城，因此球團將目標鎖定在熱刺的 Lucas Bergvall 作為接替人選。
Conclusion
Nottingham Forest has replaced Vítor Pereira with Oliver Glasner in an attempt to create a more stable environment for the club.
諾丁漢森林以奧利佛·格拉斯納取代維多·佩雷拉，試圖為球團營造一個更穩定的環境。
