Arsenal have confirmed that former player Edu is to return to the club as technical director.
The 41-year-old, who won two Premier League titles and two FA Cups during a four-and-a-half-year spell with Arsenal, has been linked with a return to north London for some time.
Edu, who played under current Arsenal boss Unai Emery during a spell at Valencia, has served as general co-ordinator of the Brazil national team since 2016, and leaves his post after his country won the Copa America for the first time in 12 years on Sunday.
Arsenal confirmed that he will travel to the USA with the squad on Thursday as their pre-season tour gets underway.
