An Arsenal and England icon has officially quit management despite once claiming he was 'one of the greatest minds in football'.

He built a career as a Premier League winner and was a regular for his country but did not reach the same heights in the dugout.

His second and last managerial job ended in 2020, when he was sacked at a beleaguered then-League One club.

Oxford United turned him down for his first job in 2018, prompting him to announce that he was 'one of the greatest minds in football' and 'wasted because of a lack of experience'.
