Arsenal manager news LIVE: Pochettino linked with new job, Ancelotti 'free' to join Gunners

Carlo Ancelotti remains the favourite to become the next Arsenal manager amid reports he is 'free' to join a new club without compensation being owed to Napoli.

The Serie A club axed Ancelotti on Tuesday, and his availability has seen the bookmakers rank the Italian as 6/4 favourite for the job.

Meanwhile, the odds on Roberto Martinez or Diego Simeone taking the reins have shortened significantly over the last 24 hours. Mauricio Pochettino is 16/1 to move to the red side of north London, though reports on Friday linked the Argentinian with the Manchester City job following revelations of a Pep Guardiola break clause.

Freddie Ljungberg has revealed that Arsenal technical director Edu has told him to work 'game-to-game' as interim manager as the club's search for a permanent appointment continues.
