Arsenal assistant coach and club legend Freddie
Ljungberg has announced that he is leaving the club to “pursue new
opportunities”.
Freddie, in a statement on Saturday, stated that he has quit the
North London club “to progress my management experience”.
The former Sweden international made 326 appearances for
Arsenal and was part of the Premier League-winning
Invincibles side of 2003-04.
Ljungberg had spells with West Ham and Settle Sounders in the
Major League Soccer (MLS).
He also coached Arsenal’s under-15 and under-23 squads.
Ljungberg, 43, had a spell in interim charge following the
departure of Unai Emery in November 2019 and stayed on the coaching
staff after the appointment of Mikel Arteta.
I have been involved with this club on and off since 1998
and am grateful for all the opportunities they have given me both
as a player and as a coach,” said Ljungberg.
“I wish Mikel and all the team every success for the season
ahead. Thanks also to the fans for their constant support and for
always being by my side. I hope we will all meet again
soon.”

Arteta added: “Freddie has been a really important member of
my team since my arrival.
He did a great job picking the team up when Unai left and we
all have 100% respect for him as a man and a coach. I know I’ll be
facing him on the touchline in the future.”
Arsenal technical director Edu revealed Ljungberg had
“various opportunities over the last 12 months and stuck to the
job at Arsenal”,adding: “Now he has the opportunity to
consider other options, and it makes sense for his career at this
time.”
