Arsene Wenger's Arsenal
suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat at Bayern Munich last week upping the
pressure from fans of the club, for manager, Arsene Wenger to retire after over
20 years at the club.
Meanwhile, Wenger, despite
growing calls from top sports analysts and stakeholders to retire, says he
doesn't feel like retiring as he is only 67 and Man U manager, Sir Alex
Ferguson retired at the age of 71, a statement that'll surely rile Arsenal
fans.
"Ferguson has some
other interests in life and he was older [when he retired] than I am
today," Wenger told reporters.
"He was four years
older. He retired at 71 and I’m 67."
When
asked if he planned to coach Arsenal for four more years to match his old
rival, he replied:
"Maybe more, maybe
less, I don’t know. Everybody is different. I do not want to take anything away
from Ferguson, he was an absolutely unbelievable manager, but he had enough. He
had enough. And I’m not at that stage."
"No, it’s not a
threat, not at all," he added. "My preference is always to manage
Arsenal and I have shown that."I am adult enough to analyse the situation
(poor results)," he said.
