Arsenal handed shock blow as Edu prepares to quit sporting director role
Brazilian key part of improvement under Mikel ArtetaHe is likely to work for Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis
The Arsenal sporting director, Edu, is to leave the club and looks likely to join the network of clubs spearheaded by Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest.
Edu’s shock departure will bring to an end five years in Arsenal’s senior management and means Mikel Arteta will lose one of his major allies. The pair enjoy a strong relationship and Arsenal will need too recalibrate when the Brazilian moves on. The timescale of his departure remains unclear.
