Mikel Arteta now the front runner for the Arsenal job

The managerial situation at Arsenal is as chaotic as it could possibly be. Fans and interim manager Freddie Ljungberg alike have no clarity. “For me, it’s a great honour to do this, but Per is an academy manager and he is doing two jobs. I think it needs to be cleared up, so everybody knows. That’s what I’ve said but it’s totally up to the club. I’m very honoured and I will do what I can, but I think we need to make a decision, regardless of what it is,” said Ljungberg after Arsenal’s defeat against Manchester City last night.
