Nottingham Forest have parted ways with Edu, their global head of football, after just over a year in the role, according to BBC News.

The former Arsenal technical director joined the City Ground outfit last year as part of a restructuring of the club's football operations, but his tenure has proven short-lived amid what BBC News describes as a turbulent period for Forest.

Details on the exact circumstances behind his exit have not been made public, and it remains unclear who will take on his responsibilities or whether the club plans to appoint a direct replacement.

Forest have endured plenty of upheaval off the pitch in recent times, and Edu's departure adds another layer of uncertainty to the club's football leadership structure heading into the coming months.
