Jens Lehmann has overseen his first training session after returning to Arsenal as a coach.

Lehmann, who had two spells at the club, has taken up his first senior coaching role after talks with manager Arsene Wenger.

Current goalkeeping coach Gerry Peyton has retained his position, while Lehmann will also work with outfield players.

Lehmann was the goalkeeper for the 'Invincibles' team in 2003-04, when Arsenal last won the Premier League title.

Lehmann was joined by new signing Sead Kolasinac who joined the first-team squad for the first time this week after signing from German Bundesliga side Schalke.
