Arsenal defender Johan Djourou believes the club can achieve 'big things' with Steve Bould as Arsene Wenger's assistant manager.
Big things
He added: "Steve is a great coach and, to be honest, I believe we can achieve some big things with our manager and with him.
"He [Bould] was my first manager in the U-15s and U-17s and I have always had a great respect for him."
Djourou, who made his first appearance for the Gunners this season as he captained them to a 6-1 thrashing of Coventry in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night, spent most of last season playing on the right rather than his favoured centre-half position.
But the 25-year-old sees his future at the heart of defence, adding: "People have forgotten that I am not a right-back. I took a lot of criticism last year for that, because I was playing out of position.
"When you play there for as long as I did last season people assume it IS your position. But it's not. So, for me, it was a difficult season last year.
"As a player, I didn't complain about being right-back because I am a team player - I would do anything for my team, for my manager and for my club."
