The decision to sack Unai Emery from his position as manager was considered for several weeks, according to the club's parent company, Kroenke Sports and Entertainment.

With Fredrik Ljungberg as interim manager, Arsenal have started the process of finding "the right candidate" to replace Emery.

According to the club's owner, Arsenal can take their time finding a new manager, as Ljungberg is the right person at the moment "to take the club forward."
