Arsen Wenger’s days at Arsenal Football may not have been fully counted yet.
The legendary French coach, who led Arsenal to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cup triumphs over 22 years, could return to the scene in North London. The current coach of the “gunners” Mikel Arteta, who has already talked to Wenger about the possibility of help, wants it.
Thirty-nine-year-old Arteta played for Arsenal in the years 2011 – 2016 under the leadership of Wenger, who is now 72 years old and is basically retired. However, this is not entirely true, as he works for the International Football Federation as head of the global football development department.
“If he came back and could be with us for a while, it would have a positive effect on the people at the club. I think everyone would be excited. Wenger still has a lot of respect in Arsenal, people here love him for everything the club did, ” claims Arteta according to the BBC portal. When asked what specifically Wenger could do for Arsenal, Arteta answered evasively: “I can’t say exactly, but it would definitely help me and the club.”
Arteta has been a coach at Arsenale since December 2019, when he replaced compatriot Unai Emery. Wenger officially ended his “endless” work on the bench “The Gunners” with 1235 matches on account in the 2017/2018 season.
Under Artet, Arsenal won the FA Cup in the 2019/2020 season, but after eighth place in the Premier League, the footballers of this London big club did not qualify for the European Cup for the first time in 25 years. Currently, after 12 matches of the year 2021/2022, Arsenal is in fifth place in the table. A domestic duel with Newcastle United awaits him next Saturday.
