Arsenal are in the market for new manager
Arsene Wenger announced on Friday that he is going to leave Arsenal at the end of the season. After 22 years of reign and 10 major trophies, The Frenchman is the greatest manager the club ever had.
The Gunners are now on the lookout for a new manager and have been linked with host of managers. One of the frontrunners to replace Wenger is Carlo Ancelotti, having Premier League experience from his time at Chelsea between 2009 and 2011 where he won the league, FA Cup and Community Shield.
Ancelotti is a highly-decorated manager, having won the Champions League with both Milan and Real Madrid, as well as league titles in five different countries. But he is currently out of job as he was let go by Bayern Munich last September.
The Italian praised Arsene Wenger for all he has done and admitted that he is pleased to be linked with the coaching job at Arsenal.
He decided to leave and it was a great gesture of solidity,” Ancelotti said at the Match For Solidarity in Geneva. “He made history, and he has to be recognized for that.
“The Gunners know their own future, if their plans involve me then I’m pleased from a professional point of view, but at the moment there’s nothing else.
“My future depends on the chances and projects presented to me, it’s not only up to me. Right now though I’m focused on helping Uefa with this wonderful event for those in need.”
Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seamen has also backed Ancelotti for the job.
“Ideally for me, a very experienced manager with a lot of stature. Someone like Ancelotti,” Seaman told ESPN FC .
“He’s been at big clubs before, he knows what he wants from his team and he’ll know what sort of players he wants as well.
“So for me, you need someone with that sort of stature to go into Arsenal and say: ‘Right, I want X, Y, and Z, otherwise I’m not coming.'”
