The club has appointed assistant head coaches Emanuel Pogatetz and Michael Angerschmid, assistant coach Michael Berktold, transition coach James Holland and goalkeeping coach Michael Gspurning.
Glasner told club media: "I'm delighted that these outstanding coaches have joined me at Nottingham Forest.
"We've shared many successful moments together and, just as importantly, we share the same values, work ethic and determination to build a culture where every player is challenged to reach their highest level.
"I'm confident they'll make a hugely positive impact on this football club."

New Nottingham Forest Women head coach Tom Mallinson says he tries to instill a "Ryan Yates culture" throughout his coaching career because of the time he spent developing the now Forest captain in the club's academy.
Yates joined Forest as an eight-year-old and went out on loan four times before eventually breaking into the first team and becoming an integral part of the side that gained promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.
"It means everything to the academy and the people of Nottingham to see one of your own playing and captaining Forest," Mallinson told the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast.
"To be the smallest part of that journey means a lot to us all. I'm really fortunate to have worked with some fantastic players and fantastic people along their journeys. It means a lot to be a part of such a special club.
"There's always photos around of Ryan. I think at times he gets a little bit of a disservice because he's always such a hard-working player but he has so many good qualities as a player. The thing that comes through with him is how much of a fantastic person he is.
"He does carry that Nottingham Forest culture of the Forest family, he wants to sacrifice himself for other people, and that's one thing I would always say to young players - players can always be good players but can we develop really good people.
"Can we instil that Ryan Yates culture of sacrificing yourself for the team and the person next to you and caring deeply about what you do and what the person next to you does?
"What makes Ryan so successful is his personality and characteristics. He's been a great servant for the football club."
Forest's Williams eyed by Premier League clubspublished at 12:03 BST 10 July

Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, with Newcastle among the teams interested in the Wales international.
Williams is currently in talks over a new deal with Forest - but a number of top-flight rivals are keen on the 25-year-old.
It is understood Newcastle and Manchester United are among the clubs to have registered an interest in Williams while talks over a new contract continue.
Forest remain confident of securing a new deal but the interest in the full-back does create a potential obstacle to a successful conclusion of talks.
Williams still has three years to run on his current deal but Forest want to reward him for his impressive displays last season with an improved contract.
Williams joined Forest in July 2022 for a fee of £12m and has since gone on to make over 150 appearances for the club.

But though they might not have been familiar to fans, the extent of modern scouting means clubs all over the world will already have known about many of them – so how have their heroics at the tournament affected their standing in the game, and their value in the transfer market?

'Long-term target' Glasner 'the right person to take us forward' - chairmanpublished at 17:44 BST 9 July

Nottingham Forest chairman Nicholas Randall KC says that despite the "fantastic job" done by Vitor Pereira, new head coach Oliver Glasner is the "right person" to take the club forward.
Forest appointed former Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as their fifth head coach in less than a year on Monday.
He replaces Pereira, who guided the club to 16th - five points clear of the relegation zone - and the Europa League semi-finals after succeeding Sean Dyche in February. The Portuguese was sacked two minutes before an exit clause in his contract was due to expire.
Speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham about Glasner, Randall said: "He's been a long-term target. One of the best young coaches in Europe - I think he's widely recognised as being that. I think the fans have said it all in their response to the appointment.
"Vitor did a fantastic job for us, as others have done, but Oliver seems like he has the right CV, the right experience and the right ambition to take us to the next level.
"We're all quietly excited with the appointment and look forward to the new season.
"We have to keep pushing. The ownership group and the board saw this as an opportunity we needed to take because, although Vitor did a great job for us, we see Oliver as the right person to take us forward.
"The ownership is very clear and always delivers if it promises something to a manager. It's a fantastic club, fantastic fans, room for growth.
"The core of the team is excellent. We can look towards the future with real conviction and justified optimism."

'Fantastic' plans for redevelopment a 'must-do' - Randallpublished at 11:41 BST 9 July

Nottingham Forest chairman Nicholas Randall KC says all parties are "pretty close to being on the same page" in regards to the redevelopment of the Peter Taylor Stands at the City Ground.
Proposals to demolish the stand and replace it with a new 10,000-seater one that would increase the stadium's capacity to about 42,000 have been public since last year, but work is yet to begin.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis wants to eventually increase capacity to 50,000.
"We're very much hoping we're going to land planning permission in September," Randall told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"We seem to have everybody pretty close to being on the same page. Maybe some people are on the page before the page we want to be on, but I think it's going in the right direction.
"It's a must-do for us. It's quite clear that the developments at other clubs show you can't really be a sustainable Premier League team for the long term if you only have 30,000 capacity.
"You have to go through these processes, which are sometimes frustrating and difficult to understand - but we have to keep calm and keep moving forward.
"We know what the goal is and we think the plans are fantastic. We know the vast majority of people in the area and community want it to happen. We have to keep pushing and trust the process."
