The 46-year-old will effectively replace chief scout Sven Mislintat who departed north London in January.

“Arsenal have always had a special place in my heart and I’m thrilled to be returning to this great club in this new role,” he told the club’s official website.

“We have a strong squad and some very talented young players with fantastic people at every level. I’m looking forward to helping make a difference.”

Edu made 79 appearances for the club during 2001-06, and was a member of the famous ‘Invincible’ side that went a whole season unbeaten in 2004.
