Arsenal are close to tying up a deal to make Mikel Arteta their new head coach, but Freddie Ljungberg will remain in charge for a Premier League trip to Everton on Saturday.
At the end of a protracted saga, the Gunners are in the process of thrashing out the final terms of an agreement with Manchester City.
The former club captain will return to Emirates Stadium and fill the first managerial role of his coaching career .
He has been working alongside Pep Guardiola at City, with enough offered in that post to convince Arsenal that his lack of experience will not be an issue.
The Spaniard will therefore be charged with the task of bringing the good times back to the red half of north London.
It is, however, understood that his reign will not officially open until Boxing Day.
Arsenal are hopeful of having a deal done before their next outing at Goodison Park.
They have pushed their pre-match press conference back 24 hours to Friday in an effort to get the finer details of Arteta’s deal tied up.
