Arsene Wenger: Former Arsenal manager reveals he has rejected Premier League offers

The Frenchman is still waiting for the perfect opportunity to move back into work

Arsene Wenger has revealed he has turned down offers to return to management in the Premier League due to his affiliation with Arsenal.

The Frenchman has been out of work since leaving the Gunners in 2018.

But despite a host of offers he has so far resisted returning to the game, but admits he is keen to return to work, yet his love for his former club would stop him from managing in England.

"I'm an Arsenal man and after that I'm a professional. I can't stop working," Wenger told Sky Sports.

"I decided to move out of the Premier League because I am too linked with Arsenal. I had opportunities to work in England but I turned them down.

"I don't want to tell you [which clubs] because there are people in charge and it would unfair to them."

Reflecting on his legacy in north London, Wenger remains proud at the amount of trophies he won and facilitating the move to the Emirates.

"I know it is normal that people always want more. We won a lot and we built the [Emirates] stadium," Wenger added.

"It's difficult to explain today the circumstances in which we built the stadium because the turnovers today have been multiplied by five.

"When we decided to build the stadium, we had a turnover of £90m and the stadium was £430m. Then the pressure is really there and I think to come out of that period in a very healthy situation was a little bit of a miracle."
