Former Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg has returned to the club as part of their youth coaching team.

Arsene Wenger confirmed that the Swede would earn his coaching badges by leading the North London side's Under-15 outfit.

"[Aspiring coaches] have to take care of a youth team and we are happy to give [Ljungberg] a chance to do his licence," Wenger told the club website.

Ljungberg scored 72 goals in 328 appearances for the Gunners between 1998 and 2007.
