Honors and legacy

Forest have one of football's most insane legacies:
  • 2x European Cups (1979, 1980)
  • 1 League Title
  • 2 FA Cups

They are the only club to have more European Cups than league titles.

Recent history

Nottingham Forest returned to the Premier League in 2022 after 23 years away and have been one of the league's most volatile stories since: especially in 2025-26, when they went through four managers in a single season: Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou (39 days), Sean Dyche (114 days), and Vitor Pereira, who steadied the ship, secured survival, and led Forest to their first European semi-final since 1984, only to be dismissed himself just weeks later. Oliver Glasner, fresh off winning the FA Cup, Community Shield, and Conference League with Crystal Palace, was appointed in July 2026 on a club-record contract for a coach.

Greatest ever player

  • Brian Clough (manager): turned them from a second division side to kings of Europe. Often labeled one of England's greatest managers.
  • John Robertson: star of the Clough era.

The US sports doppelganger

New York Knicks: huge history, chaotic present, massive expectations.

Most famous moment: Back-to-back European Cups

Their back-to-back European Cup wins under Brian Clough, one of the greatest achievements in sports history.
