Oliver Glasner will not be reuniting with Daichi Kamada at Nottingham Forest.
Glasner loves the 29-year-old Japanese midfielder, having managed him at both Eintracht Frankfurt and Crystal Palace.
And Kamada was viewed as an ideal signing for Glasner at the City Ground, following Elliot Anderson’s departure for Manchester City.
Kamada was a free agent after his contract at Palace expired this summer, but the Eagles have now confirmed he has signed a new one-year deal at Selhurst Park.

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “This is fantastic news for Crystal Palace.
“Over the last two years Daichi has made a great impact in the centre of midfield, as well as becoming a fans’ favourite on and off the pitch.
“I am delighted that he has turned down the many options he had to extend his stay in South London.
“Daichi will now have a well-earned break after his excellent World Cup and join us later in pre-season as we enter a busy Premier League and European season.”
Kamada said: "Thanks for everything. We will get another trophy. I will give my all, I promise you."
