Arsenal have parted ways with head coach Unai Emery following a run of seven games without a victory.
Gunnars bosses have called on the U23 coach and Emirates legend Freddie Ljungberg to take over as interim coach.
Spaniard Emery leaves the side after 18 months in charge, with the club eighth in the Premier League standings after four wins in 13 matches.
"The decision has been taken due to results and performances not being at the level required," the club said in a statement on arsenal.com

We wish Unai and his team nothing but future success.”
