EX-BAYERN BOSS NIKO KOVAC KEEN ON ARSENAL JOB

Arsenal are still searching for Unai Emery’s replacement.

Freddie Ljungberg is the interim head coach

According to Goal, former Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac has communicated interest in the vacant position.

Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg has taken over as caretaker head coach, but the Swede has endured similar problems to Emery, with the club having drawn one and lost one of his two games in charge.

Ljungberg must get the ball rolling in the coming days or an alternative long-term appointment will be made soon.

A number of managers have been linked with the job, and it’s now claimed that Kovac is interested.

The Croat was recently sacked by Bayern Munich, and could make a swift return to management, with English football seemingly on his radar.

Kovac was spotted watching Everton against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, sparking rumours that he could end up as Toffees boss – but that position has been filled by Everton legend Big Duncan Ferguson.
