Arsenal manager could step down in the summer

As a result of a clause in his current Arsenal contract, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could dump the North London club at the conclusion of the current campaign.

According to a report by the Mirror, French tactician Arsene Wenger has a clause inserted in his deal that will permit him to review his managerial situation when the season ends.

The publication goes as far to claim that Arsene Wenger wants former Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta to succeed him at the conclusion of the campaign.

The Spaniard is at the moment working with Premier League runaway leaders Manchester City as part of Guardiola’s technical crew and is thought to be interested in the idea of going into football management.

The French tactician is a huge admirer of Mikel Arteta, who has been doing well as a coach at Manchester City, who seem ready to win the English Premier League this campaign.

Arsene Wenger signed a new deal at the end of the previous campaign after guiding Arsenal to another Emirates FA Cup success, despite being urged by club fans resign.

There have been reports of informal talks with the former Everton coach, but there will be severe pressure from club hierarchy to bring in their favourites rather than take Arsene Wenger’s advice.
