Arsenal’s new assistant manager, Steve Bould has admitted that he is looking forward to working with the team, but admitted that he had some big shoes to fill.
The Gunners previous assistant manager, Pat Rice went on to retire at the end of the previous season and this made Arsene Wenger bring about some changes in his coaching staff.
As a result, the Gunners boss went on to make Bould his new assistant and at the same time, Neil http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Banfield-c38595 also got promoted from being the reserve team manager, to becoming the coach of the Gunners first team.
Pat Rice had been a coach at the North London club since 1984. Prior to that, Rice was a part of the Arsenal squad since 1966. As a result, it is fairly obvious that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 had become a part of Rice’s life and he went on to give it his all, every time he
had to look after the team.
Bould is well aware of this fact and admitted that he has some very big shoes to fill, given the way Pat handled things at the club.
When talking about becoming Arsenal’s new assistant manager and how things were going to change for him, Bould is quoted to have said: "I know I have some big boots to fill with Pat having spent 44 years at the club and that is going to be the hard part.”

"It is more than excitement, it is an absolute privilege and an honour.

"I will be learning on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 a little bit but myself and Neil Banfield are more than excited."

Wenger feels it is essential to have people around the club who value the identity of Arsenal.”
Wenger seems to feel that he has made the right choice, as he admitted that he only wanted to have the right people with him.
When talking about his decision, Wenger is reported to have stated: "I have always felt it is important to have people around who understand what this great club is all about.”

"With Steve and Neil joining the first-team staff, it ensures we carry forward our traditions and approach in a consistent way."
