Oliver Glasner has officially started work at Nottingham Forest as he met his new players on day one at the Nigel Doughty training ground.
It felt like a busy yet uplifting day at the training ground, with Glasner getting the chance to meet and work with his players for the first time.
Fill in the gap: Ibrahim Sangare has been a __/10 signing for Forest?
Are you happy he's penned a new deal and who should be next in line for one?
The players who were back at the club looked ready to get going, with the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Omari Hutchinson among those back at base.
Glasner has clearly got some changes in mind for the training ground, and on day one, some content released by Forest suggests they’ve been put firmly through their paces.
Oliver Glasner makes change from Vitor Pereira regime
When Pereira replaced Sean Dyche he lowered the intensity of training, with some players finding the demands from the former boss at that stage of the season too much.
The players seemed to adapt to it and enjoyed the sessions, with Glasner seemingly keen to ensure the Reds start this season as fit as possible.
Forest produced content yesterday of the players chatting to the camera before the run and then again afterwards, with several players – most notably Ola Aina – floored by the level of intensity.
In pre-season, however, this will benefit the players and hopefully, Forest can start the season as one of the fittest teams in the Premier League.
Omari Hutchinson makes claim on social media
It would seem as though some players coped with the running more than others, including Omari Hutchinson.
He posted on his personal Snapchat that the yo-yo test was a myth and posted a photo of himself looking relatively relaxed.
Who should be the official Nottingham Forest captain? Stick with Ryan Yates or give it permanently to Morgan Gibbs-White?
Let us know your thoughts…
Hutchinson is going to be a useful player to have in the squad next season and it will be fascinating to see what Glasner has planned for the youngster.
The friendlies getting underway this weekend will allow Forest fans a first glimpse of Glasner’s setup in action, and it will be fascinating to see how the players have benefited from the first week of intense fitness training.
