After announcing his departure from Arsenal, Arsene Wenger would like to return to football already next season, according to sources of the football news portal Goal.com.
It was reported yesterday that the Frenchman will leave the "Gunners" team after almost 22 years, during which he won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups.
The 68-year-old specialist would like to continue his successful career. However, Wenger sees himself now in the role of a sports director or a national team coach.
It is also written that the strategist does not want to have anything to do with the search for his successor at Arsenal and does not interfere in the board's affairs on this matter.
Interestingly, Sir Alex Ferguson, who spent even more time at the helm of Manchester United, chose David Moyes as his own replacement.
Wenger's decision to step down after the season was made without the advice of others. The Frenchman hopes that this will help unite the team for a crucial journey in the UEFA Europa League, which remains the only chance for the Gunners to compete in the Champions League next season.
