Xaver Schlager signed a two-year deal at Premier League club Nottingham Forest after the end of his RB Leipzig contract. The Austrian international will be coached by his compatriot Oliver Glasner as the ex-Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt boss took over at the two-time European Cup winners this summer.
Schlager played 150 Bundesliga games for VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig in the past seven seasons. He first met with Glasner during his time at Wolfsburg before his move to Leipzig for €12 million in 2022.
After suffering from a serious injury in the previous season, Schlager ended his RedBull Arena stay strongly as he helped them secure Champions League football. The 28-year-old featured in all four games for Austria at the World Cup as they were eliminated by the eventual champions Spain in the Round of 32.
