Former
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he will return to management "in the
New Year" - but not in England.
Wenger,
69, spent 22 years at Arsenal before leaving at the end of last
season, guiding the Gunners to sixth in the Premier League.
When asked
if he would return to manage another English club, he replied "certainly
not".
The
Frenchman said: "I have dedicated my whole life to one club - it would be
difficult and not well accepted."
Wenger,
who won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups with Arsenal, including
the Double in 1998 and 2002 during his tenure, says he "misses"
football and remains a Gunners supporter.
He was
replaced by Unai Emery, who has enjoyed a solid start at Emirates Stadium with
Arsenal currently fourth in the Premier League table after a 12-game unbeaten
run in all competitions.
"When
I can watch I am an Arsenal supporter and I am happy when Arsenal win and
unhappy when they don't win," he told the BBC.
"It's
good that it's smooth and going well.
"I
miss the game and the intensity and the beauty of our game. The team work and
sharing the emotions are the things you miss but I don't miss the negative
things in the game. "
Wenger has
not been in management since his last game in charge of Arsenal - a 1-0
away victory at Huddersfield on 14 May 2018.
