However, according to the Daily Mail, Edu has now chosen to leave after discussions with Arsenal’s leadership, with a reshuffle expected in the club’s management.
His departure is said not to be due to any power struggle, with more information expected soon, though the exact timing of his exit remains unclear.
Arteta, a close colleague of Edu, will likely address the situation when he speaks to the media before Arsenal’s Champions League match against Inter Milan.
The Gunners currently sit ninth in the revamped Champions League table with seven points. They will travel to Milan, hoping to return as happy travelers, aiming to secure automatic qualification to the round of 16.
