Wenger says England job a possibility one day

The other African Wenger lauded was former Nigerian worldwide, Nwankwo Kanu.

Arsene Wenger has described former Nigeria global, Nwankwo Kanu, as one of the most outstanding Arican players he worked with at Arsenal as the Frenchman celebrates 20 years as the Gunners manager.

However, the Spaniard chose to stay at Arsenal and in July 2015 signed a new two-year deal with the Gunners that will expire at the end of the current campaign.

Now retired, the 42-year-old is an ambassador at the Premier League club and trains with the squad whenever he gets a chance at London Colney.

“When we meet, we don’t look at each other, he doesn’t want to look at me because he knows that this is really hard on me”. I accept that it can finish tomorrow.

“When you look back, you have made the distance, but you are always obsessed with the next game, and that is what you always expect, the flawless game, it is what you work for”. “But it can stop any day”.

Wenger had also recently said that he was flattered by links to the England job.

With Sam Allardyce losing his job as England’s manager this week, the discussion turned to national identity and whether Wenger still believes that the Football Association should steer clear of hiring a foreigner.

Former Arsenal midfielder Liam Brady has described Arsene Wenger as “possibly the greatest” manager in the club’s history.

“I’ve always made it clear that I like 4-4-2 because I think the best line of defence is to attack, and if you’ve got two centre-forwards – productive ones – it’s a good way of playing”.

In the first 10 years, Wenger won 11 titles – 3 league titles, 4 English cups, 4 community shields.

Long-serving Arsenal manager Wenger, 66, is out of contract in the summer and would fit the bill, and he even said on Friday: ” If I am free one day, why not?”

“Maybe what people will keep is the invincible year, but for me the job of a manager is to do the maximum with what you have available and that is what I try to do”.

Many Arsenal fans have exhausted of their manager complaining about the resources available to the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, but their change in ownership has undoubtedly made a huge difference.

Le Prof said yesterday: “Yes, in recent games we have combined style and efficiency and we want to continue that because we want to give pleasure to the fans and we know that comes with results but as well with the quality of the game”.

“If you are there to be the rule enforcer of the game it is an impossible position…”

Wenger has over the years signed African players for the side.

“My resilience and passion has helped the most, but also the board to stick by me and I believe this club is courageous. For now I am focused on the job”, he said.
