Former Arsenal midfielder Edu has reportedly signed a five-year deal to return to the club as a sporting director.
According to Juca Kfouri of Brazilian outlet UOL (h/t the Mirror), Edu will join the club after the Copa America this summer.
The 40-year-old is the general coordinator for the Brazil national team, having previously worked as a sporting director for Corinthians and as an assistant to then-Iran manager Carlos Quieroz at the 2014 World Cup.
According to Yahoo Esportes' Jorge Nicola (h/t Richards), Edu is set to leave the Selecao setup to join Arsenal after a disagreement with Rogerio Caboclo, who became president of the Brazilian Football Confederation in April last year.
