Overview
- Levski Sofia announced Monday that Edu Gaspar is one of five newly appointed members of a restructured board of directors, with the body set to elect a chairman and an executive director at its first meeting.
- Edu’s move comes days after his contract at Nottingham Forest was terminated earlier this month, ending a brief spell as global head of football across Evangelos Marinakis’ network.
- Multiple reports say Edu’s time at Forest was turbulent: he played no active role in the summer transfer window and was reportedly told to stay away from the stadium and training ground.
- Following his appointment he publicly outlined priorities for Levski that include earlier transfer planning, modernising data and analysis systems, and strengthening the club’s academy.
- Levski, who are the reigning Bulgarian champions and enter the Europa League this week, have signalled a push to professionalise sporting operations while Edu seeks to rebuild his reputation and use his international recruitment contacts.
