‘Negotiations have begun’: Edu is now in talks to bring 60-year-old manager to Arsenal, journalist says

Globo TV journalist Eric Faria claimed last night that Arsenal technical director Edu Gaspar is in talks to bring Brazil manager Tite to the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta is currently at the helm at Arsenal and he’s doing a fantastic job. After a disastrous start to the campaign, the Spaniard has turned things around and the Gunners are now the favourites to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Rumours about a for Arteta have come out and we must say, he completely deserves it. He’s proving to be a magnificent manager despite his lack of experience at the top level.
There’s no need for Arsenal to even consider changing their manager now, but Faria has dropped a bombshell by claiming that Edu is negotiating a deal to bring Tite to the Emirates Stadium.
Edu wants to bring Brazil manager Tite to Arsenal
During of Brazil’s 4-0 drubbing of Chile last night, Faria claimed live on air that talks between Edu and Tite over a move to Arsenal after this year’s World Cup have already begun.
He : “There is already a negotiation of Tite to work in English football. To work at Arsenal.
“He worked with Edu Gaspar (in the past at Corinthians and the Brazilian national team).
“There is the intention, negotiations have begun.”

A behind the scenes role?
Football is a funny game and anything is possible, but we can’t imagine Arsenal sacking Arteta and replacing him with Tite, despite Faria’s claims last night.
However, one possibility is a behind-the-scenes role for the experienced Brazilian.
Arsenal boss Arteta back to the club recently but the legendary Frenchman didn’t take him up on his offer.
Tite could well be an option for that role and his experience at the top level could well prove to be a massive help for Edu, who has only been a technical director in Europe for a couple of years now.
