Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira has called on the club's fans to "get behind" under-fire manager Unai Emery.
Many supporters have lost faith in the Spaniard after a run of just two wins in the Gunners' last 10 Premier League games.
However, head of football Raul Sanllehi and managing director Vinai Venkatesham threw their weight behind Emery in a staff meeting on Monday.
"It's true Arsenal are going through a tough spell," the Nice manager told reporters. "But I haven't watched all their matches, so I can't talk about their game.
"They have a coach who is qualified and who works well. When a club is having a difficult time, it's important to be united. I think he has enough experience to get them through this difficult spell.
"We have to get behind him and give him time to change things. I am not sure a change of manager will fix the problems."
