Arsene Wenger has ruled out a possible move to PSG in the future by insisting he will never manage outside of England again.
The Arsenal manager is into his 17th year in charge of the Gunners, having arrived in English football as an unknown in 1996.But while he is now very much part of the furniture of English football, Ligue 1 moneybags PSG have been chasing him for the last 18 months. The Qatari-backed outfit made a move for Wenger in the summer and are planning further advances at the end of the season, with his contract running down at Arsenal. However, despite previously admitting his interest in coaching PSG, Wenger says he will never coach outside of England ever again.
‘I can see the rest of my [coaching] life in England,’ said Wenger.
‘I feel comfortable in this country because we share a common passion for football and as well I am very thankful for this country for having accepted me and giving me a chance.
‘I am happy on the football pitch.’
The comments come as a boost to Arsenal in their battle to tie Wenger down to a new contract, with talks set to begin soon over an extension.
