Arsene Wenger 'to accept FIFA role'

Arsene Wenger will reportedly accept a technical director role at FIFA as the former Arsenal boss continues to wait for the right managerial project to come along.

The Frenchman has been out of work since leaving the Emirates in May 2018 after 22 years at club, during which he won 10 major trophies.

Since leaving Arsenal, Wenger has been approached with a number of managerial opportunities but has so far declined all of them.

According to ESPN, the technical role at FIFA is not completely defined, but it will be an important one in which Wenger's voice will be heard and opinions considered.

However, the former Gunners boss has emphasised that his main priority remains finding a job in club football soon.

Wenger recently admitted in an interview that it was a dream to manage a country at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
