🚨Edu Joins Nottingham Forest as Global Head of Football

Nottingham Forest have officially announced the appointment of Edu Gaspar as their new Global Head of Football. The former Arsenal sporting director takes on a significant role with the Premier League club, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a vision focused on long-term growth. Forest are looking to elevate their footballing operations and see Edu as a key figure in reshaping their future.

Edu’s appointment marks a major statement from the club as they aim to establish themselves as a consistent force in the Premier League. Having helped steer Arsenal through a successful rebuild that culminated in a return to the Champions League and a Premier League title challenge, Edu’s track record speaks volumes. His strategic eye and emphasis on youth development, modern scouting, and sustainable growth fit the long-term vision Forest are working to implement.

Speaking on the move, Edu expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I’m excited as this project connects deeply with my values around innovation and long-term planning.” His philosophy aligns with Forest’s ambitions of becoming a stable top-flight club that can compete both domestically and in Europe in the coming years. The club believes his leadership will strengthen not just the first-team setup, but also the academy and global football operations.

The Brazilian’s knowledge of the English game, combined with his international network and experience in high-pressure environments, makes him a valuable asset.

At Arsenal, Edu was praised for building a squad with a clear identity, balancing youth and experience, and helping create a unified club culture. Forest hope he can replicate and adapt that success to their unique context.

This move signals an exciting era for Nottingham Forest, who have shown increasing ambition since their Premier League return.

With Edu now at the helm of football operations, supporters will be eager to see how his influence shapes the club’s transfer policy, infrastructure, and sporting philosophy in the seasons to come.
