(Reuters) - English Premier League side Arsenal sacked manager Unai Emery on Friday after a poor run of form and named assistant Freddie Ljungberg as interim boss while they searched for a permanent replacement.
INTERIM COACH FREDDIE LJUNGBERG
"That's our life when you sign a contract. I wish him all the best. He is an outstanding manager and has shown that in many different countries. "I'm sad for it but that's life, and Unai is a fantastic coach with a proven record. Little bit of rest, another big club will come for him and his career will be back on track."I wouldn't say it was inevitable. Nothing is inevitable either way in football. It is not nice, everyone has a work ethic and an idea and it goes one way or the other.
"There are all sorts of issues, not just the fact that the defence has clearly been the main problem... I didn't know what the side was going to be from game to game under Unai's regime and I find that really difficult to come to terms with.""The dismissal of Unai Emery was unfortunate but inevitable. Performances and results have been far below what is expected at Arsenal. But Emery's departure is the easy part.
