Wenger denies Bayern Munich rejection with talks planned for next week

The former Arsenal manager has declared he's still in the running for the top job

Arsene Wenger says he will hold talks with Bayern Munich next week after discussing the head coach role with chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The former Arsenal boss has been linked with the job at the Allianz Arena following the departure of Niko Kovac.

Wenger said this week that he would not turn down the chance to speak with a club of Bayern's stature, having spent more than a year out of management since leaving Arsenal at the end of the 2017-18 season.
