Thank you, Arsenal. Thank you, Gunners! With a heart full of gratitude, today formally I close one of the most meaningful chapters of my professional life.
After five and a half years, my journey officially as Sporting Director of Arsenal FC has come to the end.
I joined the club in July 2019 as Technical Director, with the challenge of bringing Arsenal with the mission of bringing Arsenal back where it belongs among football’s elite, driving a cultural shift, keep competing for trophies, and making Champions League qualification the minimum expectation for a club of Arsenal’s size.
Later, I had the honour of becoming the first-ever Sporting Director in the club’s history, a milestone I will always carry with great pride.
And throughout this process of rebuilding, you the fans were an essential part of everything!
To the supporters, my most sincere thank you! The support, the energy, and the connection we felt again in every match were simply special.
The Emirates became an amplified version of the old Highbury atmosphere! To have experienced this alongside you is something I will never forget.
Edu
