Nottingham Forest has reportedly ended the contract of Edu Gaspar, who served as the club's global head of football. The Brazilian manager joined the Premier League club in July 2025, but his tenure lasted only a year. Edu had expressed excitement about his new role, stating that it aligned with his values of innovation and long-term planning.
However, his relationship with former manager Nuno Espirito Santo was reportedly strained, with some suggesting that Edu acted as a middle-man between the coach and the club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, who is also the owner of Greek side Olympiacos and Portugal's Rio Ave. Edu's name has been removed from the club's "Who's who" section on the website, and he was last week replaced as chief executive by Theodore Giannikos.
Giannikos, a former FIFA employee, will now lead the club's strategic direction and oversee its long-term ambitions.
