- Edu left his position as global head of football at Nottingham Forest, with his contract terminated after just over a year in the role
- Nuno Espirito Santo was dismissed last September amid reported tensions with Edu, becoming the first of four managers Forest cycled through during the season
- George Syrianos will assume Edu's responsibilities as chief football officer, with the club opting not to replace the global head of football role
- Evangelos Marinakis, Forest's owner, oversaw the restructuring that led to Edu’s exit, following internal friction highlighted by Nuno’s public comments on changing relationships
- Theodore Giannikos was appointed chief executive at Forest last week, replacing Lina Souloukou who stepped down at the end of the previous season
Why it matters: Forest loses a high-profile football executive brought in for strategic oversight, while the decision not to replace Edu signals a shift toward centralized control under Syrianos — a move that could streamline operations or deepen internal power imbalances depending on execution.
