Arsene Wenger: Arsenal manager
'coming to the end', says Ian Wright
11 Feb
Wenger has won three Premier League titles at
Arsenal
Arsene Wenger has told Ian Wright his time
as Arsenal boss is "coming to the end",
claims the Gunners legend.
Wenger has managed Arsenal since October
1996 and won the last of his three Premier
League titles in 2004.
The 67-year-old's contract expires at the end of
the season.
"I get the impression that that's it," ex-Arsenal
striker Wright told BBC Radio 5 live. "He looks
tired. You just feel that he looks winded. I feel
that he will go at the end of the season."
Ian Wright has got the impression that Wenger's
time at Arsenal is 'coming to the end'.
Arsenal's hopes of winning the championship
this season took a huge blow when Saturday's
3-1 loss at league leaders Chelsea left them 12
points behind the Blues.
Wright says he spoke with Wenger on Thursday
night.
"He actually mentioned that he is coming to the
end. I have never heard him say that before,"
said the 53-year-old.
"I was with him for a few hours. He didn't say
to me, 'I'm leaving at the end of the season',
but I get the impression, looking at him, that
that's it."
Wright added: "The players have let him down
badly.
"If he does leave at the end of the season,
there will be a lot of changes. They should have
a long, hard look at themselves. He has been so
faithful to his team, it has been misplaced."
Some fans have called for Wenger to leave, with
one holding up a poster at Stamford Bridge
telling the Frenchman: "Enough is enough. Time
to go."
