Steve Bould is set to be named new assistant manager at Arsenal.

The Daily Mail says Bould has won the race to become Arsenal's new No 2 as Wenger plots the biggest shake-up to his coaching set-up of his 16-year reign.

Reserve team manager Neil Banfield is also set for promotion and will be new first-team coach.

Current assistant manager Pat Rice will sit in the Gunners' dug-out for the final time this weekend as Wenger's trusted aide retires after 44 years with the club.

Ex-Arsenal defender Bould, who made 372 appearances, is in his 11th year of working with the club's academy set-up.
