ARSENAL have revealed the new coaching staff that will work alongside rookie boss Mikel Arteta.
As expected, Freddie Ljungberg will keep a place in the dugout, becoming an assistant to the former Manchester City assistant.

Ljungberg worked his way up the coaching ranks at Arsenal, taking charge of the Under-15s in 2016 and then the Under-23s in 2018.
He became part of Unai Emery’s coaching staff in the summer, eventually becoming caretaker after the Spaniard was sacked.
However, Ljungberg could not turn around the fortunes of the club from the top seat, winning just one of his six matches in charge.
The pair are joined by Albert Stuivenberg and Steve Round, who both join as assistants.

Dutch coach Stuivenberg is currently assistant manager of Wales, working under Ryan Giggs – he will keep his position until after Euro 2020.
The 49-year-old has previously worked at Manchester United as an assistant and was manager of Belgian side Genk for a year.
Round is a highly experienced coach who has worked under Sam Allardyce and David Moyes, at both Everton and Manchester United, and as director of football at Aston Villa.
Inaki Cana Pavon comes in as a goalkeeping coach from Brentford, to work alongside the current keepers coach, Sal Bibbo.
Arteta said: “I am delighted to have this talented group of coaches alongside me.
“They bring a great mix of experience and fresh thinking.
“Along with the talented people we have in the club already they will be key people to get us back to winning ways.”
