Arsenal's new manager Unai Emery has confirmed his coaching setup for next season with Juan Carlos Carcedo joining Steve Bould as one of two assistant head coaches.

Many of previous manager Arsene Wenger's first-team coaches have moved on with former Premier League-winning goalkeeper Jens Lehmann among the most notable departures.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis told the club's website: "Unai has a very strong and talented team and I'm delighted that they are joining us.

"I'm also pleased that Steve Bould, Sal Bibbo and Darren Burgess will continue their work with us. As we go through this period of change, we need to retain some continuity and they have an important role to play."

Long-term Arsenal servants inlcuding Neil Banfield, Tony Colbert, Gerry Peyton and Boro Primorac have also been let go alongside the head of the club's medical services Colin Lewin.
