In the dressing room before one match, Unai Emery got the squad into a huddle & told them to put their hands into the centre & chant: ‘Arsenal! Arsenal! Arsenal!’ Needless to say, it didn’t wash with the senior players. [@MiguelDelaney] #afc

There had been some talk about whether Ljungberg's tenure might be limited by the coaching badges he holds. Football London understand he has all the appropriate licences to be Arsenal head coach.

Emery was unaware of his fate when he led a final session this morning - prepared team for Norwich, expected to be in charge. But players were gathered afterwards as head of football Raul Sanllehi delivered news of Emery exit + Freddie Ljungberg installation on a temporary basis
 
On the way to Arsenal to report on what look like the end for Unai Emery. Just before I get out of the Uber, driver says: “Please make sure he’s sacked today & tell him to take Mustafi, Xhaka and Luiz with him”

Athletic | As soon as he was fit, Koscielny played four games in just 13 days. Emery’s recklessness cost him the loyalty of his captain — and not for the last time.
 
Ozil's reps were confident he will outlast Emery at Arsenal and they may be on to something...
 
Given we are yet to see Freddie Ljungberg manage a senior game, it is difficult to predict what Arsenal XI he will pick for the trip to Norwich on Sunday.

If, however, we go by his time in charge of the Under-23s last season, it is likely to be a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation....
 
Ljungberg in 2016:


"When Arsene leaves, I'd like us to have a manager who has an attacking and passing game and doesn't change it. That's extremely important because he has been here for 20 years and built all that up."

Athletic | Luiz fell out of with one of Emery’s coaching staff in front of the whole group, apparently feeling demeaned that the coach was treating him like a child by trying to teach him how to defend.
