Wenger feels appointment carries forward Arsenal traditions
Steve Bould says he feels honoured to have been appointed assistant manager at Arsenal and is looking forward to the challenge.
The former Gunners defender, who had been working in the club's youth set-up, has replaced Pat Rice as Arsene Wenger's right-hand man.
Former reserve-team coach Neil Banfield has become the club's new first-team coach.
"It is more than excitement, it is an absolute privilege and an honour," Bould told
Arsenal Player.
"I know I have some big boots to fill with Pat having spent 44 years at the club and that is going to be the hard part.
"I will be learning on the job a little bit but myself and Neil Banfield are more than excited."
Important
Wenger is pleased to welcome Bould and Banfield on board and hopes they will help the club enjoy success next season.
"I have always felt it is important to have people around who understand what this great club is all about," said Wenger.
"With Steve and Neil joining the first-team staff, it ensures we carry forward our traditions and approach in a consistent way.
"I am looking forward to working closely with Steve and Neil and wish them every success."
