Arsene Wenger Won’t Mind being England's Manager

 

Arsene Wenger admits he would be open to the possibility of becoming England manager but not before he sees out his existing contract with Arsenal.  The Frenchman, who has been in charge of Arsenal for almost 20 years, has 12 months to run on his current deal and insists he will honour that commitment.

He admitted he is uncertain where his future lies beyond that and left the door open to potentially taking over the England team one day. He said “Could I manage England, why not? I would never rule that out, but I am happy and focused in club football, England is my second country. I have one more year to go with Arsenal and I have been with them for a long time. I have always respected all my contacts [throughout my career] and will continue to do that. What will I do after that? Honestly, I don't know.”

England are searching for a new manager after Roy Hodgson stepped down following their humbling Euro 2016 exit to Iceland. Jurgen Klinsmann is currently the favourite to succeed Hodgson, while Sam Allardyce, Eddie Howe and Glenn Hoddle have also been linked with role.
