Oliver Glasner strikes ambitious tone but urges patience before Forest v Leeds opener | OneFootball

New Nottingham Forest head coach Oliver Glasner struck an ambitious note but urged patience ahead of the Leeds United opener at the City Ground on Saturday 22 August.

"When we had talks, I found one of the few people more ambitious than I am, which is quite difficult. So I think we challenge each other with ambition." "Every Premier League club is ambitious, every manager and player is ambitious. That doesn't mean you will have success." The comments were made to Round Table.

"So it doesn't make sense after two days to talk about silverware. We need to build consistency. With the right ingredients in every area, hopefully we have a great meal and will be successful."

"It takes three to six months when you ask a team to do something differently. When I signed for Palace I said, and I will repeat myself, I am not a magician." "There is no button I can press so we can win the Premier League. It is a lot of hard work from everyone, supporting each other, this is the foundation of success."

Glasner steered Crystal Palace to Europa Conference League glory in May, having announced in January that he would depart in the summer. After Forest parted with Vitor Pereira, he took charge earlier this month.

Forest had four managers last season under owner Evangelos Marinakis and faced a survival fight, eventually finishing fifth-bottom, five points above the drop and three behind rivals Leeds.
