Arsene Wenger Final Set to Return to Football in Technical Director Role

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is nearing a return to football as a technical director at FIFA ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The 69-year-old has been away from the game since leaving the Gunners at the end of the 2017/18 Premier League season following 22 years in charge, but now appears ready to take on a new role in football.
