Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes Mikel Arteta will need an experienced back-room team if he's to be appointed the club's new manager.
The Spaniard - who played under Wenger at the Emirates - is in advanced talks to take over the role vacated by the sacked Unai Emery.
He's been working with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City since his retirement and Wenger says Arteta will need help transitioning to the top job with the Gunners:
"I am an Arsenal supporter and at the moment I support the manager in charge and the manager in charge is Ljungberg. When Arteta will be in charge I will support Arteta.
"He is intelligent, he has passion, he has knowledge, but Ljungberg does as well.
"I believe that Arteta has certainly a great future, he has certainly learned a lot in his first position as an assistant coach and after that as well he will have to deal with the fact that he has no experience at that level and he will have to get surrounded well.
"When I left the club was in a very strong financial position and they bought many players in-between, they have not all worked out.
"I believe that it's not a question of time. The change can be very efficient very quickly, it's just about the right decision-making and that's all that it's about in football, it's about good players.
"We speak about the success of Liverpool, of course they have a great manager, but you have to say as well that in the last three-four years, they bought the right players."
