Wenger says he is not going to return to Arsenal

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has ruled out a move to Arsenal, The Sun reported.

"Would I return to the Emirates Stadium?

"I always said to myself that I would be leaving Arsenal completely. That's the decision I made."

"My heart is still with the club. I think a lot about the club and a lot about the period. 22 years in my job is unusual."

“I’m proud. At the end of the day when you look back you don’t think about what you won and what you lost so much, but I’m proud for having the attitude just to serve the club as long as I was there."

“And I have more satisfaction today when I look back and I see the Emirates, we built all that without a penny from anybody and today the club can take off even more and be more successful."

"I worry about the club still a lot and I watch all of the games."

“I believe there is a culture in the way to play football at Arsenal that I want to be respected."

“And I hope Mikel can get that back."

Wenger, 70, was Arsenal's head coach from 1996-2018. Under Wenger's leadership, Arsenal have won 17 trophies.
