Wolfsburg have announced that Freddie Ljungberg has left his coaching role at Arsenal's academy to join Andries Jonker at the Bundesliga club.
The Gunners confirmed on Monday that academy manager Jonker had replaced Valerien Ismael at Wolfsburg, who sit just two points above the relegation playoff zone.
It has now also been announced that former Gunners midfielder and youth coach Ljungberg has become one of Jonker's assistants along with Uwe Speidel.
Ljungberg was unveiled along with the rest of Jonker's staff via a picture posted on Wolfsburg's official Twitter account.
