Arsenal sporting director Edu is set to leave his position at the club.

Edu has been a key figure in Arsenal’s resurgence alongside manager Mikel Arteta, joining as technical director in July 2019, shortly before Arteta’s appointment.

Under their collaboration, Arsenal has become a formidable force, finishing as runners-up to Manchester City twice and earning Edu a promotion to sporting director in November 2022.

Regarded as one of the top sporting directors in football, Edu has been instrumental in securing vital signings like Martin Ødegaard and Declan Rice while effectively managing the departures of players such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

However, reports suggest Edu has decided to step down following discussions with the club’s hierarchy, and while his exit is not attributed to any power struggle, a reshuffle within the executive team is anticipated.

Edu’s potential departure has caught Arsenal executives off guard, with speculation about a role with Evangelos Marinakis’s club group, including Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos.

Arteta previously expressed a desire for Edu to remain at the club long-term, highlighting his importance in maintaining the team’s values and communication.

As Arsenal struggles this season, currently sitting fifth in the league, Edu’s exit could pose challenges for Arteta and the management team moving forward.
