Ljungberg offered Arsenal assurances under Arteta as interim reign comes to a close

The Swede is passing the managerial baton on after overseeing a 0-0 draw with Everton and has been told a coaching role remains his if he wants it

Freddie Ljungberg has been told that a role working alongside Mikel Arteta at Arsenal is his if he wants it, with the Swede seeing his spell as interim boss come to a close.

The Gunners turned to a familiar face for inspiration when the decision was taken to relieve Unai Emery of his managerial duties at the Emirates Stadium.

Ljungberg found the going tough through six games in all competitions, collecting only one win, and is now ready to pass the baton on once more.
