Edu Gaspar Resigns as Arsenal Sporting Director

Edu Gaspar has officially stepped down as Sporting Director of Arsenal, a decision he described as 'incredibly hard.' He intends to pursue a new opportunity within the network of Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis. Edu, who was pivotal in Arsenal's recent successes and worked closely with manager Mikel Arteta since his reappointment in 2019, expressed deep gratitude for his time at the club, stating that Arsenal will always hold a special place in his heart. Arsenal acknowledged his significant contributions and emphasized that there was no conflict leading to his departure. Co-chairman Josh Kroenke praised Edu's positive impact on the club and confirmed that a succession plan is in place to maintain their competitive ambitions. Edu's exit is viewed as a considerable loss for Arsenal amid their pursuit of major trophies.
