Edu exit ‘may be looming’ at Nottingham Forest after turbulent season | OneFootball

The future of Nottingham Forest’s global head of football, Edu, is again under scrutiny after a fraught campaign. The BBC reports that an exit ‘may be looming’, a suggestion Forest have dismissed.

Doubts first surfaced in January, barely six months after his appointment, and the situation has not eased. Forest have sacked three managers and remain embroiled in a relegation battle.

Edu arrived last July after leaving his role as Arsenal’s sporting director. He was tasked with overseeing football operations, including recruitment and squad planning, across Evangelos Marinakis’s clubs, which include Olympiacos, Rio Ave and Forest, as the Reds prepared for a first European campaign in 30 years.

The 47-year-old has not attended Forest’s last two matches, according to The Telegraph, missing the Europa League play-off second leg against Fenerbahce and Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion.

A falling-out between Edu and Nuno Espirito Santo was central to the latter’s dismissal in September. Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche each had short spells, before Vitor Pereira arrived last month as the fourth boss of the season.

Pereira is yet to win a Premier League game but has guided Forest into the last 16 of the Europa League. They visit Manchester City on Wednesday at 7.30pm, two points above the bottom three.
