Mikel Arteta handed shock blow as Edu quits Arsenal sporting director role

Brazilian key to club’s on-field improvement under Arteta
He is likely to work for Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis

Edu has sensationally resigned from his position as Arsenal’s sporting director and is likely to join the network of clubs spearheaded by Evangelos Marinakis, the Nottingham Forest owner.

The Brazilian’s shock departure will conclude five years in the club’s senior management and means manager Mikel Arteta will lose one of his major allies. The pair’s strong relationship is no secret but Arsenal will now be required to recalibrate. There is no successor currently lined up for a role that had not existed at the club before Edu assumed the position in November 2022.
