Edu resigned as Arsenal’s sporting director months ago and has been strongly linked to a role with Evangelos Marinakis’ clubs.
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has expressed his optimism about working with former Arsenal sporting director Edu in the future. Marinakis, who also owns Greek club Olympiacos and Portuguese side Rio Ave, sees Edu as a valuable addition to his multi-club ownership model.
Marinakis spoke highly of Edu, acknowledging his contributions as both a player and a sporting director. “Edu was a very good player and also a very good sporting and technical director,” Marinakis told Sky Sports. “I have a lot of respect for him.
Marinakis revealed his desire to cooperate with Edu on a larger scale, envisioning a global project that could benefit both parties. “What I can say is that I would like to cooperate with him on a much bigger project, a global project. I’m optimistic that in case all this goes ahead, it will be another successful venture for both of us.”
Edu resigned from his role at Arsenal last month, citing a desire to pursue new challenges. His potential collaboration with Marinakis has been widely speculated, with Edu expected to oversee Nottingham Forest as well as other clubs in Marinakis’ portfolio.
Marinakis’ optimism about working with Edu highlights the potential for a successful partnership that could elevate Nottingham Forest and other clubs under Marinakis’ ownership. As discussions continue, both parties remain hopeful about the future collaboration.
