## **Edu Gaspar situation escalates at Nottingham Forest**

Edu Gaspar’s time at Nottingham Forest appears to be coming to an abrupt end.

According to a report from The Telegraph, [Nottingham Forest have told Edu Gaspar to stay away from the club as his departure edges closer](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/03/05/nottingham-forest-tell-edu-to-stay-away-from-club/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_tw_post_to-stay-away-from-club/).

The development suggests tensions behind the scenes have reached a point where the club no longer expects the Brazilian to continue in his role.

Edu only joined Forest eight months ago after leaving Arsenal, where he worked closely with Mikel Arteta during the club’s squad rebuild.

## **Former Arsenal director facing early Forest exit**

Edu played a key role in Arsenal’s modern recruitment structure before moving on from the Emirates.

During his time in north London, he helped oversee several major signings that reshaped the squad and supported Arteta’s long term project.

His move to Nottingham Forest came as the club looked to strengthen its football leadership and recruitment strategy.

However, the latest developments suggest that relationship has now broken down.

## **Forest ownership decision raises questions**

Nottingham Forest’s decision to distance Edu from the club’s operations points to significant internal issues.

The report states that Forest have effectively told the Brazilian executive to stay away from the club while discussions around his exit continue.

If confirmed, the situation would mark a dramatic end to Edu’s short spell at the City Ground and leave Forest searching for another figure to oversee their football operations.
