According to the Telegraph, ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is the favorite for the vacant managerial job at Arsenal.

The Gunners are on the lookout for a new manager following the sacking of Unai Emery on Friday morning.

The aforementioned publication said that Arsenal officials might find it difficult to lure Mauricio Pochettino to the club since he just left arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Mauricio Pochettino lost his job as the Spurs manager last week after the poor start to the season and he has since been replaced by Jose Mourinho.

The Argentine tactician is not the only manager to be linked with the Arsenal job.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has also been touted as a possible candidate for the vacant managerial job at the Emirates Stadium.

Other potential candidates include former Liverpool and Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez, Manchester City assistant manager/former Arsenal player Mikel Arteta, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers and ex-Gunners captain/OGC Nice manager Patrick Vieira.

For now, former Arsenal winger Freddie Ljungberg is in charge of the team starting with the Norwich City game at Carrow Road this weekend.

Former Gunners winger Freddie Ljungberg was an assistant manager while Unai Emery was still the Arsenal manager.
