It continues Emery’s clear break from the influence of ex-Arsenal Chief Scout Sven Mislintat, who he had blown to the cronies immediately after being sacked by Arsenal in November having spent six months on gardening leave and officially severed his ties to Arsenal in April this year. It is that former link with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, one who also holds “several sides”, which might hint at Edu having any kind of broader remit under the role, so strap in for his “global head of football” encompassing not just Arsenal but more of Marinakas’s football empire, with Nottingham Forest as the focus for Edu. This is another change in tactics for Forest under Edujo.
