Bruno Mazziotti confirms Arsenal move, Edu key

Dec 28, 2020

PSG medic, Bruno Mazziotti, has confirmed his move to Arsenal by changing his bio on his Instagram profile.

It’s been rumoured since the end of the summer that Mazziotti would be leaving Paris for London and now it seems like he has confirmed the move has definitely gone ahead.

Back in September, David Ornstein reported for The Athletic that Arsenal finally had an agreement to bring in Bruno Mazziotti from PSG. He still needed to finalise the terms of his exit from the Ligue 1 club, so that’s why we had to wait a little longer for him to arrive at the club.

We have also reportedly added Nick Court, from Bournemouth, as a first-team therapist according to the same publication.

Arsenal have been working on a deal for the medic since June, so they’ll be happy to land their man at last. He’ll likely help fill the gap created by Chris Morgan’s move to Liverpool.

Arsenal almost lost club doctor Gary O’Driscoll to Liverpool as well this summer, but they managed to convince him to stay in the end. O’Driscoll and Mazziotti will now work together to lead the Gunners’ medical team.

Unsurprisingly, Mazziotti has a close relationship with Arsenal technical director Edu. They worked together at Corinthians and with the Brazil national team.

The 42-year-old also worked for Real Madrid and AC Milan in the past. Clearly, he has an impressive track record and it reportedly already making an impression at London Colney.
