LONDON — Edu Gaspar has signed a new deal with Arsenal that sees him become the club’s first sporting director.
The Gunners say the Brazilian’s promotion “sees him assume over-arching responsibility for all our academy activities, in addition to his existing responsibilities across men’s and women’s football.”
Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham said: “We are delighted that Edu is recommitting his future to the club that he so clearly loves, after making such a positive and critical contribution to our progress in his time with us so far.
Edu, who was a member of Arsenal’s Invincibles squad and rejoined the club as technical director from the Brazilian FA in 2019, said: “I’m delighted to have this new role which I see as an evolution and consolidation of the way we’ve been working.
We are making good progress in all areas of our men’s, women’s and academy and we are all excited about what can be achieved.”— Sky Sports
