OVERMARS HINTS HE FANCIES ARSENAL ROLE
Marc Overmars has hinted he would like Edu’s job at Arsenal one day.
The former Gunners winger is currently director of football at Ajax but described the potential of fulfilling that role at the Emirates as ‘interesting’.
Overmars, 48, played for Arsenal between 1997 and 2000.
He was never team-mates with Edu, 43, who joined a year after the Dutchman left for Barcelona.
But it appears he wouldn’t mind his job with the Brazilian under severe pressure after Arsenal’s terrible start to the season.
Overmars has been director of football at Ajax since 2012 and is open to a change.
He told Mundo Deportivo: “At a certain point the thing is simple: either I continue and I stay here in Ajax or we go abroad again as a family.
“I have let that train pass six times.”
