Arsene Wenger admits confusion over next move after Arsenal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he does not know what his next move will be after he leaves the Gunners.

Earlier in the month, Wenger confirmed he will be leaving the north London side after nearly 22 years at the helm.

Even though the Frenchman has no plans to retire, he has been linked with taking a director’s role, or possibly becoming a coach.

“Once I’ve finished honestly I don’t know [what his next move will be],” Wenger told Sky Sports.

“I am confused a little bit at the moment and I have decided to take a little distance for four or five weeks before I make a decision.

“I need to move away a little bit to take perspective on my situation and analyse it in the most objective way possible, even if it is not easy.

“I will then decide where I go from there.

“It is strange for me because for 22 years I have had 1,200 games or something like that for Arsenal Football Club,” he said.

“It’s not 50, it’s 1,200 and every time you prepare the team you are tense. It’s a complete part of your life, it’s more than part of your life, it is your life.

“Arsenal was my life and so of course it is special.”
