During his three-year stint at Manchester United, Heinze made 83 appearances for the club before moving to Real Madrid in 2007. Since then, he has spent the last decade in various managerial roles, with his most recent position being the head coach of Newell’s Old Boys from November 2022 to 2023.
According to reports, Heinze will be joining Arsenal as part of their coaching staff. This decision is likely influenced by Mikel Arteta's past experience playing with Heinze at Paris Saint-Germain.
Heinze's addition to the coaching staff comes after the departure of young and highly regarded coach Carlos Cuesta, who left to become the manager of Parma earlier in the season.
