Cagigao in frame for Arsenal promotion if Mislintat leaves

Arsenal are set for a fresh management shake up.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal will push on with their search for a director of football while Frannie Cagigao is likely to step up to fill the scouting void when Sven Mislintat leaves.

Mislintat, recruited from Borussia Dortmund by former chief executive Ivan Gazidis and now wanted by Bayern Munich, is expected to leave, creating a vacancy as head of scouting.

Cagigao, the man who discovered Cesc Fabregas and who has been Arsenal's scout on the Iberian Peninsula for 20 years while living in Portugal, has assumed greater importance at the club since the departure of previous chief scout Steve Rowley.
