Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Backs Freddie Ljungberg After Arsenal Managerial Debut

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has backed interim boss Freddie Ljungberg to have a positive impact on the team.

The Swede was promoted from assistant coach to interim manager on Friday after Unai Emery was sacked.

Per Goal's Charles Watts, Aubameyang said of Ljungberg:

"He can give us something special. Everybody is respectful of Freddie.

"He was part of the Invincibles. His career speaks for himself. He played for Arsenal and he has this in his heart.

"We will try to follow him and give the best for him.
