Failed Nottingham Forest figure lands shock new job, laughable claim made

Former Nottingham Forest sporting director Edu has taken on a new role as a senior advisor with an investment consortium at Northampton Town. The consortium, which includes Joao Xavier and former AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato, brought Edu on board to help navigate English football. Xavier praised Edu's prior experience at Forest, stating that he helped him learn about the English game.

The article criticizes Edu's tenure at Nottingham Forest, calling his time under owner Evangelos Marinakis disastrous following a fallout with former head coach Nuno Espirito Santo. The writer notes that Edu was dismissed earlier this year and replaced by George Syrianos after unsuccessful signings such as Omari Hutchinson and Douglas Luiz, warning Northampton Town about his appointment.
