The 69-year-old Frenchman has been without a job since leaving
Arsenal at the end of last season. He spent 22 years in the Gunners hot seat
and won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups.
Wenger told Sky Sports last
week that it would be “odd” to manage a club in England after such a long
association with Arsenal. He also confirmed that he plans to return to football
at the beginning of 2019, but did not know where.
According to France Football magazine,
his next club is expected to be AC Milan. He has reportedly been in talks with
the Italians for several weeks as they look to replace current head coach
Gennaro Gattuso.
However, The Sun adds
today that Wenger is at the centre of a “tug-of-war” between Milan, French
champions PSG and Champions League holders Real Madrid.
It’s claimed that Wenger has been contacted by Real Madrid
president Florentino Perez about taking over from Julen Lopetegui, who was
sacked last week.
PSG have been linked with a move to make Wenger their sporting
director while Paris United reports that the world football
governing body Fifa is also believed to want to offer him a role.
The London Evening Standard contacted
Wenger’s agent to ask about the potential move to Milan but there was no
response this morning.
