De Boer: Too soon for Bergkamp to takeover at Arsenal

Former Barcelona and Rangers star Ronald de Boer says Dennis Bergkamp isn't ready to succeed Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.

Bergkamp is currently coaching at Ajax.

De Boer told talkSPORT: "He doesn't want to take the step into management too early.

"He's doing a good job working with Frank [de Boer], getting good experiences and being influenced by the right people.

"People have a lot of respect for him so maybe in two or three years he can make that step but first I think he'll want to start smaller. It's just too early at the moment for him to step into management."
