Former Manchester United assistant manager Steve Round has confirmed he will become Mikel Arteta’s new assistant head coach at Arsenal. The former United and Everton assistant manager has taken up the post alongside Arteta after the Spaniard was confirmed as the Gunners’ long-term replacement for Unai Emery, who was sacked last month. “It’s a great opportunity at a magnificent football club and just having brief conversations with Mikel I think he’s going to be a really, really top manager. The 49-year-old became David Moyes’ assistant at United in 2013 after the Scotsman took over from Sir Alex Ferguson. Round left Old Trafford in April 2014 at the end of Moyes’ disappointing tenure.
