Nottingham Forest reportedly terminate Edu contract
Edu’s exit follows a turbulent season and a reported falling-out with owner Evangelos Marinakis, while George Syrianos takes over his duties.
- Global head of football Edu has left Nottingham Forest after his contract was terminated, with his exit confirmed after removal from the Reds' "Who's Who" section.
- The Brazilian joined the club in July 2025 as global head of football, overseeing Nottingham Forest, Olympiacos, and Rio Ave under owner Evangelos Marinakis.
- Amid a turbulent 2025/26 season, Edu acknowledged the job "was not what he envisaged" and he "struggled to build relationships with key members of staff," including Marinakis.
- His departure follows the appointment of former Olympiacos vice-president Theodore Giannikos as chief executive last week; Forest's chief football officer George Syrianos assumes Edu's responsibilities.
- Tensions surfaced soon after his arrival when a falling-out with Nuno Espirito Santo led to the manager's dismissal last September, followed by three additional managerial changes.
