Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has revealed what was discussed with the club’s hierarchy, before he decided to quit.
Wenger stepped down from his role after 22 years and says it was because of the “impatience” with him.
The Frenchman, in an interview with beIN Sports, claims that even winning the Europa League wouldn’t have made any difference.
Wenger led Arsenal to three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League final in his first decade in charge, but the success dried up in the second half where he won just three FA Cups.
“We sat together and thought that would be better, to have somebody that comes in that has credit and patience.
“There’s a great spirit in the team, it was a pleasure to work with them, there’s great potential in the team, somebody coming in and having time will fight for the championship.
“You felt always there was an impatience there, no forgiveness anymore.
“When you’re such a long time there there’s impatience. We were used to always huge success but nothing was good enough anymore.
“Even this season we played in the League Cup final, the semi-final of the Europa League and didn’t deserve to go out.
“Even if we had won the Europa League, I could feel there was an impatience that was definite,” Wenger said.
