What Edu really does behind the scenes at Nottingham Forest: Why Evangelos Marinakis trusts him so much, the key decisions that led to Nuno Espirito Santo rift and the huge challenge he now faces

When the announcement was made, it felt as though Nottingham Forest had appointed Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti or Jurgen Klopp.

Forest were ‘proud’ and ‘happy’ to bring this ‘highly respected executive’ into their ‘family’ in July. Given a build-up like that, Edu Gaspar certainly has a lot to live up to, especially now there has been a change in the dugout at the City Ground.

Nuno Espirito Santo did not think much of Forest’s new global head of football and just two months after the Brazilian's appointment, the Portuguese manager is gone and Ange Postecoglou will be in charge for Saturday’s match at Arsenal.
