Wenger opens up on why he has not visited to Arsenal since 2018
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in a recent statement has spoken about why he had not visited the club since leaving in 2018
Wenger was in charge at Arsenal for 22 years, leading them to some successful seasons before he finally resigned in 2018 majorly due to pressure from fans.
The Frenchman in a statement with The Sun emphasised his desire to stay away from Emirate Stadium, adding that his job at FIFA does not afford him the luxury of time.
Wenger added that his presence at Arsenal could cause problems and could disturb the work already going on there.
“After 22 years as manager, maybe I arrived at the end of the road and people wanted a change.
“The club had chosen a different direction and I can understand that completely.
“Sometimes, you need to have a completely new staff and my presence there could have been a problem
“So I stayed away completely to give the club the chance to rebuild a new connection with a new manager.
“That’s why I never talked about Arsenal and never came back to the Emirates because I didn’t want to be a presence that is maybe not good for the club.
“But I still feel that my life is definitely linked with Arsenal, so now I support them from my TV and I am also very busy travelling the world for Fifa.”
