Arsenal have appointed Gabriel Heinze as assistant coach of the first team under the direction of coach Mikel Arteta.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid defender fills the position vacated by Carlos Cuesta, who recently became head coach of Parma in Italy's Serie A.
"We are delighted to introduce Gabriel (Heinze) to the first-team coaching staff and welcome him and his family to Arsenal," the club said on its website on Wednesday.
The 47-year-old brings extensive experience as both a player and a coach.
During his playing career, he helped Manchester United win the Premier League title in 2007, LaLiga with Real Madrid, and the 2004 Olympic gold medal with Argentina.
After retiring in 2014, Heinze managed Godoy Cruz, Argentinos Juniors, Velez Sarsfield and Newell's Old Boys in Argentina, as well as Atlanta United in MLS in 2020/2021.
