Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is on the verge of a third stint with the Gunners as he will be coaching temporarily for the club.

Lehmann who is waiting for a decision from Europe’s governing body on whether he can enrol on a course with the Welsh FA is eager to earn his UEFA Pro License after an objection from the German FA.

And in lieu of his starting the year-long course his former club promised him the coaching position of the Gunners’ reserves in a way to assist Arsene Wenger.

Lehmann is embroiled in a row with the German Federation after missing the deadline for their latest course, due to talks about another playing comeback with Schalke at the age of 42.

The German Federation Sporting Director Matthias Sammer insisted that future Bundesliga coaches should football courses in their own country as he opposed his application for his coaching badge with Welsh FA after negotiations broke down between him and Schalke.

The case has been forwarded to UEFA by Lehmann himself and he is awaiting their decision.
