Nottingham Forest is in danger of unravelling after a disastrous 2025-26 season. The team finished 16th in the Premier League, 41 points behind leaders Arsenal, with a recent form of DLDWW.
What happened?
Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked just three games into the season, and what followed was a comedy of errors. Another two permanent managers came and went as Forest battled relegation.
Why it matters for Nottingham Forest
Survival was eventually sealed by gaffer number four, Vitor Pereira, courtesy of an impressive fightback in the spring. The recipe for success under Pereira was based around unshackling Morgan Gibbs-White.
What comes next?
Oliver Glasner must steady the Nottingham Forest ship and get the club back into Europe and trophy contention. Glasner held talks with Milan this summer after opting to call time on two-and-a-half years with Crystal Palace, so his decision to join Forest was a surprise. With the new season approaching, Nottingham Forest is looking to put the past behind them and start fresh. The team's league standing, 16th in Premier League, 44 pts, 11W-11D-16L from 38 games, recent form DLDWW, will be a crucial factor in determining their success. As of the final 2025 table, Nottingham Forest has scored 48 goals and conceded 51, resulting in a -3 goal difference. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on 2026-05-24, and they are currently unbeaten in their last 5 games, with a record of 3W-2D-0L. Their next fixture is against Manchester United on 2026-12-26, which will be a tough test for the team.
