Edu Gaspar could be heading back to Brazilian football as reports link the former Arsenal director with a potential role at Flamengo.
The Brazilian currently works within Evangelos Marinakis’ football group, but his situation in England has become increasingly uncertain.
Recent reports suggest that the former midfielder may already be under pressure to step away from his position as Nottingham Forest’s Global Head of Football, raising the possibility of a return to South America.

According to ESPN Brasil, Edu has been facing growing pressure to resign from his role at the City Ground just eight months after joining the organisation.
The report claims internal tensions have emerged behind the scenes, casting doubt over his long-term future within the structure.
Meanwhile, reports in England have suggested Edu was even told to ‘stay away’ from Nottingham Forest’s stadium and training ground as the situation escalated.
The developments have fuelled speculation that the former Arsenal sporting director could soon be open for a new opportunity elsewhere.

One possible destination could be Flamengo, who are reportedly considering changes in their football leadership.

However, the position of current sporting director, Jose Boto, has become even more uncertain following the controversial dismissal of head coach Filipe Luis.
Despite Flamengo’s president backing the call, Boto’s future is now in doubt.
Edu has emerged as a possible candidate to take over the role if Flamengo decide to make changes at the top of their football department.
