Wenger is leaving Arsenal by the end of season

Arsene Wenger has revealed he will take a month off at the end of the season before making a decision on his next career move.

It was announced last week that the Frenchman’s 22-year reign as Arsenal boss will come to an end this summer, but it has not been confirmed if he plans to retire, to look for a manager’s job elsewhere or to take another role in football.

And Wenger has exclusively told Soccer Saturday that he has not decided what his next step will be – and he will take a few weeks away from football to get some perspective before deciding.

“Once I’ve finished honestly I don’t know,” Wenger said.

“I am confused a little bit at the moment and I have decided to take a little distance for four or five weeks before I make a decision.

“I need to move away a little bit to take perspective on my situation and analyse it in the most objective way possible, even if it is not easy.

“I will then decide where I go from there.”
