I don't have plane to return to Arsenal - Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger has ruled out making a return to Arsenal. Recall that Wmeger left the Emirates stadium dug out in 2018.

He was replaced by Former Paris Saint German boss, Unai Emery,who has since been sacked after 18 months.


The Frenchman has been out of coaching since bringing a 22-year reign in north London to a close in the summer of 2018.

Wenger told beIN SPORTS when asked if he'd return to Arsenal, even as a spectator: “Would I return to the Emirates Stadium? I always said to myself that I would be leaving Arsenal completely. That's the decision I made.”


On that recognition of his achievements, Wenger said: “I managed the club for 1,235 games, I’ve had good and bad times there, but we always tried to defend the club’s values. And I think we managed to do it.”

He admitted to taking pleasure in seeing Liverpool fail to emulate the efforts of his ‘Invincibles’.

Nobody else has achieved that before or since, with Liverpool’s class of 2019-20 seeing their bid to match the Gunners come to a shuddering halt when suffering a shock 3-0 defeat at Watford in February .

“Yes, it was a form of satisfaction [to see Liverpool lose],” Wenger said.

“We always like to be the only ones to achieve something. They (Liverpool) could really go all the way. But it shows that it's difficult to repeat this feat. Anyway, that day, I had a lot of messages from Arsenal supporters.”


Quizzed on whether he could return to the bench at some stage, he said: “At the moment, I am dedicating myself to my work at FIFA.

“FIFA has responsibility for 211 federations and the big problem is being efficient. I’m not saying I’m not missing competition, but I’m trying to be efficient in this area.”
