\u201cThis was an incredibly hard decision to make. Arsenal has given me the opportunity to work with so many amazing people and the chance to be a part of something so special in the club\u2019s history. It has been a special journey and I thank Stan, Josh, Tim and Lord Harris for the support they\u2019ve given me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201c I\u2019ve loved working with so many great colleagues across our men\u2019s, women\u2019s and academy teams, especially Mikel, who has become a great friend. Now it is time to pursue a different challenge. Arsenal will always remain in my heart. I wish the club and its supporters only good things and all the very best,\u201d said Edu to Arsenal\u2019s media team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 46-year old joined the club in 2019 in the capacity of Technical Director and a promotion in 2022 saw him become Arsenal\u2019s first ever Sporting Director. Alongside Mikel Arteta, Edu played a key part in redeveloping the Gunners and making them one of the best teams in English football.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEdu Gaspar has today resigned from his position as our Sporting Director. Edu, our former player and Invincible, re-joined us in the role of Technical Director in July 2019. He progressed through the club and was promoted to Sporting Director in November 2022, where he oversaw men\u2019s, women\u2019s and academy football.

One of his biggest contributions was the cutting down over excessive wages of veterans in the likes of Pierre Emerick Aubamayeng and Mesut Ozil. He played key roles in the signing of current club captain Martin Odegaard and the side\u2019s record signing Declan Rice. At his departure, Arsenal has one of the youngest cores in the league and have extended the contracts of Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
