He told Sportcast: "I don't expect to work at Arsenal in the future. I think that door is closed because of my move to Manchester United.
"You never know in football, but that is my assessment. It's still sensitive to them, not to me. It is especially sensitive for the Arsenal fans.
"I have also learned that planning as far ahead in the career as it would be does not make sense at all. I mainly live in the here and now. I really enjoy being at Heerenveen and I am very proud to be the coach of the club."
