“It has been an honour to be part of the coaching set up with Wales,” said Mr Stuivenberg. “It has been an exciting period in the history of the game and I have learnt a lot both on and off the field. I thank all the players for the hard work and the incredible, passionate supporters.”
Mr Stuivenberg will now concentrate full time on his coaching responsibilities at Arsenal.
Kieran O’Connor, FAW president, said: “The FAW wishes Albert the very best of luck at Arsenal and are grateful for the commitment and hard work that he’s put into the national team over the past four years.”
