Wenger wont coach England

Wenger won't coach England

09 November 2007 - 00:10

Arsene Wenger has ruled out the opportunity of managing England in the forseeable future after dedicating his future to Arsenal and claiming he is more than happy in his current job.

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target

  • In an interview with FourFourTwo published in the Daily Telegraph, Wenger said: "I manage in England and I hope I can help English football but the national team should be managed by an English guy."



    He added: "If I'm England manager and I play France, what national anthem do I sing?"



    Wenger again defended his use of foreign players and criticised FIFA proposals which would restrict the number of foreign players a team would be able to field, an idea that drew support from Sir Alex Ferguson.



    "I find them utter rubbish," Wenger continued. "I think that sport is just because it rewards the best.



    "You could be my son but if you're not good enough then you don't play at Arsenal. I do sometimes get annoyed with Ferguson just like he gets annoyed with me but that's part of the game."
