Arsene Wenger Leaves Arsenal
Arsene Wenger has left Arsenal by mutual consent following the club's poor form.
The club are in sixth place just a point behind 4th placed rivals Tottenham but
they have a game in hand over the Gunners. Arsenal exited the UEFA Champions
League in the group stages after having to face Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and
FK Austria Wien with just one win in the campaign. Being relegated to the Europa
League, the club will face Partizan in the Europa League First Round. Wenger had
this to say on his departure;
"Today is a sad day for me as I leave Arsenal. I have loved my time at the club
and I want to thank the players, fans and the club for their support. Even after
our defeat yesterday the fans chanted for me and I am humbled to have their
support. However myself and the board mutually decided that it's best for the club
to have a new man take them forward. I have given my recommendation but the final
decision is the boards. I wish the club the best for now and beyond." According to our
sources, Dennis Bergkamp was Wenger's recommendation and is the odds-on favourite
to take the job following original favourite Jurgen Klopp signed a new contract with
Borussia Dortmund. - BBC SPORT STEPHEN GIBBS
