Oliver Glasner says he understands Crystal Palace supporters will be unhappy with his decision to join Nottingham Forest. The former Palace head coach left Selhurst Park at the end of last season and this month signs a three-year contract with Forest. Both clubs are aware of the heightened tension between them, with reports noting that the rivalry has intensified after Forest took Palace’s place in the Europa League last term. The move is presented across outlets as controversial because Glasner is switching directly between clubs that are already competing and have established animosity. While he acknowledges the likely reaction from Palace fans, he also frames his transfer as a concern that it should not undermine his previous work or the legacy he built with Palace. The accounts emphasize the personal and emotional impact of the switch on supporters, rather than any new on-field developments.
