Jens Lehmann returns to former club Arsenal as first-team coach

Jens Lehmann has overseen his first training session at Arsenal having returned to his former club as a first-team coach.

The 43-year-old spent a combined five years with the Gunners and was a part of the famous Invincibles side in 2003-04, the last time that the North Londoners lifted the Premier League trophy.

Lehmann confirmed his pending appointment to German newspaper Die Welt on Wednesday morning, and just a few hours later he was pictured at the club's London Colney training facility.
