Freddie Ljungberg given Arsenal coaching role

Former Arsenal winger Freddie Ljungberg has revealed that he will become part of the club's coaching set-up next season.

The Swede became a fan favourite in his nine years at the club and was a part of the 'Invincibles' team that went the whole Premier League campaign unbeaten in 2003-04.

After leaving the Emirates Stadium in 2007, the 35-year-old will return to the club next summer and is delighted by the news.

He tweeted: "I am happy to reveal to you that i've been asked to join and accepted the coaching staff role for the 2013-14 season with Arsenal."

Ljungberg made 200 appearances for the Gunners.
