Story summary
Oliver Glasner, who took charge of Crystal Palace in February 2024, led the south-east London team to unprecedented success. This included winning the 2025 FA Cup final against Manchester City and securing a Conference League title victory in Leipzig. Despite expectations that Glasner would take some time off after his contract expired this summer, he unexpectedly joined Nottingham Forest just a week later.
The surprise move is even more striking given Palace's recent history: they were denied entry to the Europa League due to a legal dispute with UEFA, resulting in their relegation to the Conference League. Nottingham Forest took Crystal Palace’s place in that competition last year.
When Glasner returns to Selhurst Park on Sunday for the first time as manager of Nottingham Forest, it is uncertain how he will be received by Palace supporters. Most fans are grateful for his achievements and have expressed their appreciation online, with one fan stating, "He deserves a great reception to give our thanks for his and the club's achievements." However, opinions among the fanbase are mixed, reflecting the complex emotions surrounding his departure and subsequent move to a rival team.

Having arrived in the capital in February 2024, the Austrian led the south-east London club to their first major trophy when they beat Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final, overseeing a period of unprecedented success which culminated in their Conference League triumph in Leipzig.

Glasner had been expected to take some time out to assess his options over the summer, so it came as a surprise when he took over at Nottingham Forest a week after his Palace contract expired.
asserted

The Austrian’s decision was more shocking given that only a year prior Palace had been denied a place in the Europa League, earned after winning the FA Cup, and demoted to the Conference League following a lengthy legal dispute with UEFA that saw Nottingham Forest take their place.

Forest → give → place
With Glasner now at the helm at the City Ground, it is unclear what reception he will get when he returns to Selhurst Park on Sunday, and Palace supporters have taken to social media to voice their opinions.

supporters → get → opinions
The majority of supporters remain grateful to Glasner for the success he delivered to the club, with one X stating, “He deserves a great reception to give our thanks for his and the club's achievements.”

He → remain → achievements
Other accounts offered similar sentiment, with one supporter stating that while he “hate[d]” the fact he joined Forest, he “still love[d] the man for what he achieved.”

Despite winning the Conference League, last season was not without its issues for Glasner, and he came close to resigning at the turn of the year shortly after announcing he would leave the club at the end of the season.
asserted
he → win → season
He mended many relations by lifting the Conference League, but there remain a minority of supporters who have not forgiven him, with one person stating on X, “He lost me in that last year when he started sprouting all sorts of rubbish to protect brand Glasner.”
asserted
he → mend → Glasner
Neither Palace nor Forest have got off to the best start this season, with each club taking one win from their opening five games, and Glasner will be desperate to get one over his former employers.
