https://www.arsenal.com/news/unai-emery-leaves-clubWe announce today that the decision has been taken to part company with our head coach Unai Emery and his coaching team.
Speaking on behalf of the Arsenal board and our owners Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, Josh Kroenke said: “Our most sincere thanks go to Unai and his colleagues who were unrelenting in their efforts to get the club back to competing at the level we all expect and demand. We wish Unai and his team nothing but future success.”
The decision has been taken due to results and performances not being at the level required.
We have asked Freddie Ljungberg to take responsibility for the first team as interim head coach. We have full confidence in Freddie to take us forward.
The search for a new head coach is underway and we will make a further announcement when that process is complete.

Managerial Changes
Just over a week since Spurs sacked Poch, their arch rivals Arsenal have sacked Unai Emery.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... rates.html
"Nuno Espirito Santo
...
Wolves will fight tooth and nail to keep hold of their bearded messiah however, as they look to continue implementing their 'seven year plan' and make themselves contenders for major honours.
Compensation costs to bring Santo to the Emirates would be sizeable, though the bookmakers currently place the Portuguese as the favourite for the position.
Mikel Arteta
...
When last considered for the Arsenal position ... Manchester City had said they would not stand in the way of the Spaniard taking to the dug-out.
This time around, however, City are much less inclined to let Arteta depart. The 37-year-old is a crucial member of the coaching staff at the Etihad, as Guardiola's men defend their Premier League title and aim to finally capture the Champions League.
The bookmakers currently have Arteta as 9/2, second favourite behind Nuno, to succeed Emery at the Emirates.
Massimiliano Allegri
...
The cost-effective process of getting Allegri would be ideal for the Gunners, who would not have to worry about compensation. His lack of Premier League experience however could be a worry, as Arsenal need a man to come in and pick things up instantly.
Allegri is currently priced at 8/1 to make his first foray to the Premier League.
Carlo Ancelotti
...
But it has been reported that any club wishing to prise Ancelotti from Napoli would have to pay a hefty sum to release him from his contract.
Brendan Rodgers
...
The 46-year-old only joined the club in February, and with Leicester doing so well under his leadership it would prove a tricky task to snare him away, and he recently confirmed his commitment to the club after being linked to Tottenham.
...
Mauricio Pochettino
...
Bookmakers currently price Pochettino at 8/1 to take over, which reflects the dynamic that a decision would purely be one taken by the coach himself rather than the club.
It's perhaps safe to say that if Pochettino gave Arsenal the green light, little to no hesitation would be made.
...
Budget, however, remains a huge obstacle, and something Emery has had to juggle for the duration of his time in England.
One of Pochettino's main gripes at Spurs was an enduring feeling that progress was being held back due to limited investment. It would be a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire in this regard at Arsenal, with the club desperately in need of a full rebuild of their own."

Arsenal = Freddie Ljungberg (age 42) = Played for Arsenal and won 3 titles with them.K wrote:There are other big differences too. In the AFL, everyone believes you need to be a former AFL player to coach (changing a bit but still...), and clubs want their coaches to be young. How many of the EPL coaches played in one of the top leagues? They certainly don't have to be young.
Aston Villa = Dean Smith (age 48] = Never played in the top flight. Played mostly in the second and third divisions.
Bournemouth = Eddie Howe (age 42) = He was in Portsmouth's squad when they were promoted to the top flight but barely played them. Mostly played in the lower divisions.
