Edu played with Arsène Wenger’s Invincibles, but is not untouchable. Indeed, according to information from Daily Mail this Monday morning, the sporting director of Arsenal will leave his post. However, the decision would come from him, even if it appears totally unexpected. The reason is not yet truly known, a struggle of influence in higher places not being considered as a sole justification for his choice.
For Arsenal, it is a hard blow in the heart of the season. Because Edu had established himself as the visionary of the overhaul of the Gunners, after years of mediocrity. Arriving in 2019 as technical director, he quickly gained unanimous support. And he rose through the ranks to become the sporting director and the architect of the sporting restructuring.
Poached by Marinakis?
He thus kept confidence in Mikel Arteta when the results were not always convincing. The Spanish coach therefore loses a lot of support within the London club. And not at the best time, since Arsenal lost again this weekend, against Newcastle, after the defeat against Bournemouth two weeks ago. The coach is not in danger, but we will have to watch the evolution of his case at the end of the season.
Edu is at the origin of transfers that have left their mark, such as those of Martin Odegaard or more recently Declan Rice, two major players. And it was also he who pushed more expensive players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang towards the exit. In short, he is a quality professional who is about to leave Arsenal. According to Skysportsit could be to join the stable of Evangelos Marinakis, the Greek businessman who notably owns Olympiakos and Nottingham Forest.
