Edu Gaspar’s Nottingham Forest contract terminated, report says

Nottingham Forest’s global head of football, Edu Gaspar, has left the club after his contract was terminated last week, according to a report published on Monday.

John Percy understands that the decision brought Gaspar’s spell in the senior football leadership role to an end, with the change implemented last week rather than in recent days.

The wording points to a termination by the club rather than a voluntary resignation, indicating a completed exit rather than an ongoing review. The report does not name a successor or set out any interim arrangements, so Forest are currently proceeding without a designated global head of football.

The position sits at the top of the football structure, typically spanning strategy across recruitment, squad management and performance departments. In the short term, those responsibilities could be redistributed internally until a permanent appointment is confirmed.

No further details were given on the circumstances behind the termination or the contractual terms of the departure, and there was no mention of an expected timeline for any replacement.

The timing, described as last week, means the change predates Monday’s report and suggests any succession planning has already begun inside the club.
