Arsenal have re-signed scout Sandro Orlandelli, according to Brazilian journalist Marcus Alves.
Sporting director Edu moved to bring him back to the club to bolster their backroom team.
He left the club in 2016 to join up with Jose Mourinho and Manchester United.
Alves was at the heart of unearthing the likes of Carlos Vela and Denilson.

Arteta’s Aubameyang uncertainty
Mikel Arteta says he cannot be sure whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will extend his stay at the club.
The striker came out this week and reaffirmed his commitment to the club, despite entering the final 18 months of his deal.
While Arteta was happy to see such a positive statement, it remains unclear whether the forward will sign an extension.
“I was very pleased to read those comments,” Arteta said.
“He knows exactly what I think about him. Obviously, he is a massive player for us.
“But at the moment we are in the middle of the season and we haven’t discussed anything further than that at the club.
“My intention is to keep Auba because we are stronger and closer to winning football matches. Am I confident he will sign? I don’t know.
“We haven’t discussed that. But I am confident he is happy here because that’s what he said.”
