Freddie Ljungberg
has spoken about his time as an interim manager when
Unai Emery
was sacked from
Arsenal. It was not a successful spell for him as they only managed to win one of their 6 games while
Ljungberg
was in charge.
After the arrival of
Arteta
, he lost his position on the bench and finally left
Arsenal
, his loved club.
Ljungberg
is yet to find a new role and appeared as a pundit on Sky Sports on Sunday for coverage of
Arsenal
's trip to
Leeds United.
"Yeah, 100 per cent [it was a tough decision to leave],"
Ljungberg
said on Sky Sports.
"Everybody knows how much I love that club. I've had a lot of very good relationships and stuff like that, so of course, it would be easy for me to have a comfortable life and stay there.
"But I felt that I've been an assistant a lot for a manager and I felt I'm ready to manage myself.
"To be able to do that I felt I had to leave and try to stand on my own two feet. Not an easy decision but I think it was the right thing to do for my career.
"I want to be a manager. I've tried to do all the work and tried to learn from a lot of good managers, and [now] I try to do it myself.
"Yeah exactly [I'm just waiting for the opportunity], something that fits all parties, and we'll wait and see."
