There were quite a few doubters around when it was announced that Edu Gaspar was first coming back to Arsenal after spending a lot of time working as co-ordinator to the Brazilian national side. Although he had previously worked as Director of Football at Corinthians earlier, many thought he didn’t have enough experience to take on such a big job at Arsenal.
Edu has certainly been using his contacts in Brazil to great effect, and it can’t be forgotten that his present to Arsenal fans on his arrival was to bring a young Gabriel Martinelli with him from Brazil, and he has since been very instrumental in identifying a lot more talent from South America and persuading them to join the Arsenal project.
But today it has been announced that Edu has been promoted to being the very first ever Director of Football at Arsenal, after previously being the Technical Director. I certainly hope that the job comes with a substantial pay rise as he has been doing an incredible job for the Gunners since his arrival, and has built up an amazing partnership with Mikel Arteta.
He announced how proud he was of his promotion on his Instagram account….
So all that is left to say is Congratulations big man, and may you preside over many years of success and trophies for Arsenal in your new position.

Well done Edu – thoroughly deserved indeed. Sadly, many fellow Gooners could not see your vision at the start and gave you (and your family) abuse that you did not deserve and embarrassed not only themselves, but their fellow fans too.
The vast majority of Gooners are behind you, Arteta and the club – so thank you for bringing back our Arsenal and putting up where we belong. Excited to see what the future brings, not only with the team on the pitch, but equally as important, with the team in the background. COYG!
Congratulations to the Brazilian, he has done well, barring one and two deals that may have slip through the cracks, to a great extent his signing are magnificent.
In the summer when the gaffer was granted a pay rise, there was a lot of ranting by some fans, fast forward to now things and time has certainly changed, not a single rant I have detected so far.
Back home his stocks too has gone up a notch among young Brazilians, as a direct result of the inclusion of Gabriel Martinelli in the national team, it could even soares further if the kid set the world cup on fire
