Overview
- The Telegraph’s John Percy reports that Edu’s role is in question, with the global head of football still expected to attend Tuesday’s match at the London Stadium.
- Forest have lost four straight league games under Sean Dyche and sit 17th, heightening pressure on football leadership during a relegation fight.
- A rapid collapse in Edu’s relationship with Nuno Espirito Santo is widely cited as a key factor in Nuno’s September dismissal; Nuno now manages West Ham.
- Summer recruitment led by Edu has drawn criticism, including a £37.5m deal for Omari Hutchinson, fitness-hit loans for Douglas Luiz and Oleksandr Zinchenko, and a £26m move for Arnaud Kalimuendo who is set for a loan to Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Reports note Evangelos Marinakis is unhappy with returns on a contract worth over £3m per year for Edu, while some fans speculate—without confirmation—about potential board changes and a possible Nuno return.
