'I will put smiles on faces' - Ljungberg reacts After Being Appointed As Interim Manager

Emery was sacked on Friday morning following a rapid downturn in form under his guidance this season. Ljungberg, his No 2, replaces him on an interim basis while the club searches for a long-term replacement.

'However long I oversee Arsenal for I will give everything I have to put smiles on faces again,' Ljungberg said on Twitter.

'We have a busy few weeks ahead and the team needs your support. Let’s get to work!'
