It has been touted that Arsenal intend to sign the new sporting director of AS Monaco, Thiago Scuro to replace Edu Gaspar who was recently fired from the role. This is one reason Monaco have become one of the better clubs this season in Champions League competition is because of Scuro. His ability to buy quality without breaking the bank fits perfectly with the Arsenal vision of successful long-term success both domestically and in Europe.
Searching for Edu replacement
While there are some big names in this list, the most prominent of them is Thiago Scuro, who happens to be the sporting director at AS Monaco. What has put Scuro under the cloak of being a “hard negotiator” with an incredible knack to identify promising talent at competitive prices. His work at Monaco has seen the club in a competitive position, not only in the domestic league but also the Champions League.
Why Scuro is a strong candidate?
His work shows his qualities in finding talent and making strategic investments. With his South American background, Scuro must be a rich source of insight into that market with his experience both in South America and European football. This will contribute further to Arsenal’s ambitions of setting up a sustainable, talent-driven model.
Compatibility with Arteta’s Vision: Arsenal would want the sporting director to harmonize with Mikel Arteta. Scuro’s reputation as a team leader makes him a great candidate.
Other Candidates in Contention
Apart from Scuro, Arsenal is also tracking Roberto Olabe of Real Sociedad who is due to leave at the end of this campaign. Olabe had achieved much in taking Sociedad into a good place at La Liga and European competitions and could, therefore, be a candidate for the role. Arsenal seems interested in appointing a person who would maintain things are rising at the club
Interim Measure
This marks another step in making sure that there is stable and assured development in the sporting structure by Arsenal.
