Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is currently doing a great job as FIFA’s chief of Global Football Development. However, the calls for a return to management will never end for the legendary Frenchman.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Wenger spoke about the possibility of him managing a club or a country again. He did not rule out anything and specifically stressed that he could manage a national team for a year or so.

“I’m crazy. I’m crazy enough to be crazy and to make a crazy decision. But overall, I would say no, I’m determined at the moment not to do it. Maybe a national team for a term at some point. I don’t know. But at the moment I’m involved in projects with FIFA and I want to get to the end of it,” Wenger said.

Wenger also talked about his responsibilities at FIFA and revealed that he has launched an online academy to help people play football.
“We launched yesterday an academy online, to give a chance to everybody in the world to be a football player. That’s for me, more useful now,” he added.
Wenger reveals that he doesn’t have the same passion for football anymore.
Wenger has managed football teams for 34 years, with 22 of those years in England with Arsenal. He talked about the lack of motivation he has for managing a football club again and revealed that he doesn’t have the same passion to win games as he once did.
“I’ve made one thousand two hundred and thirty-five games for Arsenal, and overall over two thousand games in my career. But if I win ten more, it will not change my life now,” Wenger concluded.
