Oliver Glasner, who led Crystal Palace to victory in both the FA Cup and Conference League before unexpectedly joining Nottingham Forest, faces mixed reactions when returning to Selhurst Park on Sunday. While many fans express gratitude for his achievements, a minority are critical of his recent decision. Both clubs have had difficult starts this season, with each winning only one game out of five so far.

Story summary
Oliver Glasner, an Austrian manager who joined Crystal Palace in February 2024, led the team to unprecedented success, including winning the 2025 FA Cup against Manchester City and securing their first major trophy. His tenure culminated with a Conference League triumph in Leipzig. However, it came as a surprise when Glasner unexpectedly took over at Nottingham Forest just one week after his Palace contract expired, despite expectations he would take time to assess his options.
This abrupt change was even more shocking given that only a year earlier, Crystal Palace had won the FA Cup but was denied entry into the Europa League due to a legal dispute with UEFA. As a result, Nottingham Forest took Palace's place in the competition. With Glasner now managing Nottingham Forest, it is uncertain how he will be received when he returns to Selhurst Park on Sunday for a match.
Most Crystal Palace supporters remain grateful for Glasner’s contributions and achievements, with many expressing their appreciation online. One fan commented, “He deserves a great reception to give our thanks for his and the club's achievements.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.
