Arsenal To Get Rid Of Wenger On One Condition
Arsenal risk missing out on Champions League competition next season and their only hope of qualifying now lies in winning the Europa League which currently seems pretty unlikely considering their form in recent matches. Missing out on the competition will have a damaging effect on the squadβs budget for the following year.
The Gunners currently sit sixth in the Premier League table with 8 points behind fifth placed Chelsea and 13 points behind fourth placed Tottenham.
According to reports fromΒ Express, Arsenal will end Wengerβs 22-year reign at the Emirates if he fails to secure the European trophy.
The North London outfit have a tough two-leg tie against Italian side AC Milan in the last 16 of the Europa League with which if they are knocked out, it could mark the end of Wengerβs managerial career at the Emirates.
Hoffenheimβs 30-year-old coach Julian Nagelsmann has been shortlisted is a replacement for Wenger. Carlo Ancelotti and Eddie Howe are also thought to be potential candidates.
According toΒ The Sun, Arsenal have also lined up former midfielder and Manchester City assistant coach Mikel Arteta as a potential replacement for the under-fire Gunners boss.
However, some members of the Arsenal dressing room do not want Arteta to come in and take over, accusing him of being arrogant and thinking highly of himself.Arteta was part of Arsenal squad after signing from Everton in 2011 and was appointed the clubβs captain in 2014. He won FA and two FA Community Shields before his contract expired at the end of the 2015-16 season.
