Arsene Wenger set for managerial return soon – ‘I had a conversation three weeks ago’

That is according to his former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit.

Wenger has been out of a job since he left his beloved Arsenal at the end of last season – finishing a historic 22-year-run.

And Frenchman Petit, is backing his former manager to take charge at a new club very soon.

Petit was told by Wenger, during dinner in Dubai, of his intentions to make his return imminently. Quizzed on Wenger’s potential retirement, the 48-year-old had this to say.

“No. He is going to manage soon. Yes, soon,” Petit told The Sun.

“I had a conversation three weeks ago when I was in Dubai. He was with a friend of mine.

“There are big rumours in France about him taking over as Bayern Munich manager.”

Petit, however, was reluctant to believe rumours that the 69-year-old would be making a move to Real Madrid or PSG.

“Some of them said he is going to go to Madrid, I don’t believe in it,” he added.

“Some of them said there is big things at Paris Saint-Germain as a sporting director.

“You’ve got big names there. Can you imagine if you put Arsene Wenger there? I don’t believe in it.”

Wenger’s final years at Arsenal were blighted by poor results and an inability to win a Premier League since their ‘Invincibles’ season back in 2003/04.

The Frenchman did, however, manage to add three FA Cups to his silverware collection in the last few years of his tenure at Arsenal – bringing his total tally to seven – the most that any manager has won.

On Wenger passion and drive for football, Petit seemed confident that his former boss still has what it takes.

“I still believe Arsene is passionate about the field, working with the players. This is something really important for him,” Petit said.

“It’s vital, so I don’t see him working in the offices. He could, he has the knowledge and the intelligence to do that. He still has experience to give on the pitch.”

Petit, though, insists that Wenger leaving Arsenal was the correct decision.

“What happened with Arsenal gave him a big kick up the a***,” he added.

“It was meant to be. It was even a bit too late but I think that was good for him. Now he does not have the security and he has had to take a step back. They needed a change. Even Arsene knows it. He knows that after 20 years at the same club and frustrating years.”
