Forest are set to part ways with Vitor Pereira, with the club moving quickly to bring in a replacement ahead of the new season.
Oliver Glasner, the former Crystal Palace manager, is poised to take the reins at the City Ground following negotiations between the two parties.
BBC Sport understands that a deal to appoint the Austrian coach is virtually done, with only the final formalities remaining to be completed.
The move represents a significant managerial change for Forest, who have acted swiftly to identify and secure their preferred target for the role.
Glasner left his position as Crystal Palace manager at the end of last season, making him available for Forest to pursue during the summer window.
Crucially, contact with Glasner was first initiated earlier this summer, suggesting Forest had long identified the Austrian as their top choice to lead the club.
The speed at which the deal has been concluded points to a smooth and straightforward negotiation process between all parties involved.
Glasner built a strong reputation in English football during his time at Selhurst Park, making him an attractive proposition for a Premier League club like Forest.
Forest will be eager to get the appointment finalised quickly so that Glasner can begin his preparations for the season ahead without further delay.
The club’s hierarchy has clearly moved with purpose and intent in the managerial market, wrapping up the deal in a timely and professional manner.
Pereira’s departure marks the end of his stint at the City Ground, with the club now turning to Glasner to lead them into their next chapter in the Premier League.
