6pm Arsenal news LIVE: Ljungberg hired as interim manager, Emery sacked, Allegri among favourites for permanent role

THE Arsenal fans had been calling for it… and the day is finally here.

Unai Emery has been sacked as the Gunners boss.

The Spaniard leaves after the North Londoners lost 2-1 to Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday night.

That was the seventh game in a row without a win for Arsenal.

Freddie Ljungberg has been named as the head coach in the interim – but Massimiliano Allegri is considered the favourite for the full-time gig by the bookies.
