Freddie Ljungberg is set to leave Arsenal and become the new manager of Malmo, according to Sportal.se.

Ljungberg was the interim-manager of Arsenal following the departure of Unai Emery, but with Mikel Arteta having been appointed in the role on a permanent basis, the future of the former Sweden international is wrapped up in uncertainty.

It has been reported by Sportal.se that the 42-year-old Arsenal fan favourite is set to become the new manager of Swedish club Malmo.

Sensible move?

Ljungberg has done well as a coach at Arsenal, and perhaps it is time for the Swede to become a manager in his own right.

The former West Ham United player has got enough experience already, and it is time that he uses it to make a name for himself as a manager.

Perhaps in the coming years Ljungberg could return to the Emirates Stadium as a manager of the Arsenal first team, as he is only 42 years of age now and could have a long career in management.
