Arsenal have begun making changes to the backroom staff ahead of the 2019/20 season.
Gunners hero Freddie Ljungberg has reportedly signed a new contract formalising his new role at the club with an announcement expected at the start of the week.
Ljungberg, who has progressed managing the under-23’s side is due to switch roles with current assistant coach Steve Bould.
Unai Emery will have Ljungberg as his right-hand-man, with the Swede expected to be a bridge for the under-23’s to integrate smoothly into the first-team.
Ljungberg set for first-team role
The Evening Standard wrote that Arsenal are aware that their restricted summer transfer budget will mean the need to look at internal solutions to problem positions next season.
After a difficult start to last season Ljungberg steered the under-23’s to a second place finish and went unbeaten in 2019.
The club legend is seen as a valuable asset in helping the young players such as Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah and u23 players of the year and Tyreece John-Jules progress.
