Edu has left his role as Nottingham Forest's global head of football. BBC Sport reports that George Syrianos is expected to assume his responsibilities rather than a like-for-like replacement being appointed. The change follows a turbulent period in the club's leadership.
The departure is confirmed in reporting. The more useful question is whether the remaining leadership can give the football operation a consistent direction.
What is likely to happen next
Watch how the club describes Syrianos' responsibilities and whether further appointments are confirmed. A period of stable, explainable decisions would support a more positive outlook. Another rapid leadership change would raise fresh questions about whether the structure, rather than one individual, needs attention.
This is a conditional editorial assessment, not a measured probability or a guaranteed outcome.
