Jens Lehmann happy being Arsenal assistant coach, but...

Jens Lehmann says he's enjoying his work at Arsenal this season.

The former Gunners goalkeeper is working as an assistant coach to manager Arsene Wenger.

He told BILD: "The assistance work is very good for me to learn the structure, methodology and implementation in the job as a No2. But the chief role is of course the goal.

"Some things are best learned when you do them yourself."

Lehmann continued: "I do not feel like an English coach, but as a German. Arsenal is also international for both the staff and the team. But what I definitely take with me is the intensity of the Premier League, the physicality and the speed and the required training, which differs from that in the Bundesliga."
