The French tactician's connection to his former team prevented him from getting a job in England's top flight
Arsene Wenger has revealed he turned down a number of offers to coach in the Premier League because of his bond with Arsenal.
The 69-year-old has stayed away from management since leaving the Gunners at the end of the 2017-18 season after 22 years in charge of the London club.
Despite being without a coaching role for the past 17 months, Wenger says he has had a number of offers to take charge of English top-flight teams, but he turned them down because of the connection to his former club.
