Nottingham Forest has terminated the contract of Edu, the club's global head of football, six months after an internal decision was made to part ways. Edu, who signed a five-year deal upon his appointment in July 2025, effectively ended his tenure last week. The departure follows friction regarding recruitment strategy and a public clash with former manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Reports indicate Edu had been excluded from club activities and training ground access since March 2026. Internal promotions have already filled his responsibilities within the organization, and the club is not expected to issue an official statement on the matter. Forest finished the previous season in 16th place following a period of underperformance in the transfer market.
