Ljungberg unsure how long he’ll be at Arsenal helm, with future talk branded ‘irrelevant’

The Swede, who starred for the Gunners as a player, has been placed in temporary charge of first-team affairs following the dismissal of Unai Emery

Freddie Ljungberg is unsure as to how long he will remain in interim charge of Arsenal, with the Swede focused on the present and steadying a ship that had started to sink under Unai Emery.

The Gunners bowed to pressure on Friday when relieving an under-fire Spanish coach of his managerial duties, with the decision taken to head in a different direction.

Various candidates have been mooted as potential successors to Emery, but for now, it is former fan favourite Ljungberg calling the shots – as he has been promoted from an assistant post.
