Records

Edu's place in football history is secured by his membership in Arsenal's 'Invincibles' squad, the only team to complete a Premier League season unbeaten. That achievement is a rare and celebrated feat, and Edu's contributions as a versatile midfielder were part of a campaign that remains the gold standard for consistency. His earlier success with Corinthians, including the first-ever FIFA Club World Championship, adds to a career that bridged Brazilian and European football. As an administrator, he has helped shape Arsenal's modern identity and now guides Nottingham Forest's football strategy, demonstrating a lasting impact on the game.

AwardsEdu's major honours as a player include the Brazilian Championship with Corinthians in 1999, the inaugural FIFA Club World Championship in 2000, and with Arsenal, the Premier League title in 2003-04 as part of the unbeaten 'Invincibles' squad, plus two FA Cup wins in 2004 and 2005. He also earned sixteen caps for Brazil.
